And a glass of beer for my dog too

May 24 - Napa Valley is a region known for its premiere wines and breathtaking vistas. So, it's no surprise that a beer produced in the region has gone to the dogs, literally.

Dog Star Brewing Company makes a specialty beer for dogs. Located in the heart of Napa Valley, founder Jamie Miller says she wanted Kodi, her 120 pound Akita, to be able to let loose and enjoy an icy cold one, but she worried about the negative effects alcohol has on pups. She went about creating a non-alcoholic beer for dogs, Happy Tail Ale.

In addition to being sold online, grocers are stocking the canine beverage on shelves in their pet section.
