Adorable Portsmouth Dog Graces AAA Travel Book

Radar, the beloved Corgi belonging to the Liu family of Portsmouth, earned a top prize in a contest sponsored by AAA.

Don't you just want to squeeze this guy?

He's Radar, he's from Portsmouth and soon, readers from around the world will see this photo of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

Radar, the beloved pet of Nancy and Dexter Liu of Portsmouth, won second place in AAA Southern New England's PetBook photo contest.

The photo of Radar was snapped at Cathedral Ledge in North Conway, N.H., and will be featured on AAA's 16th edition of Traveling With Your Pet/the AAA PetBook after it won second place in the contest.

The book gives travelers the latest information on pet-friendly hotels, restaurants, campgrounds, dog parks and other places pet owners want to know about when they're on the road or taking to the skies with their furry friends. 

In a release, AAA said it presented a check to the Liu family on Tuesday in Roger Williams Park in Providence and given Radar's love for travel, the PetBook has come in handy for the Liu family.

"He loves the car rides, and enjoys hotels, and new people, places, and other dogs,” Nancy Liu said. So much so, in fact,  that Radar has traveled to some two dozen states!
