If you can’t turn down a good book or resist petting a dog, we’ve found your new favorite store. In downtown Fredericksburg, a new dog-themed bookstore, Tales & Tails, is welcoming both book lovers and dog lovers alike.

Owners Christine Bowman and Hunter Burkin officially opened their new store on May 24. At Tales & Tails, the husband-and-wife team combined their passions to create a go-to spot for people who love books, coffee, and dogs.

For readers who want to bring a furry friend to the bookstore, head to the dog-friendly patio. The area is equipped with a dog stick library, a bin of tennis balls, water bowls, and mobile ordering from the café. Only service animals are allowed inside the bookstore due to health department regulations.

The bookstore is not only a place to pick up your next read as you enjoy a cup of coffee, it is also spotlighting various local rescues up for adoption. Tales & Tails has partnered with Fredericksburg SPCA and Old Dominion Humane Society to bring awareness to dogs up for adoption and will also be hosting adoption events in the future.

Tales & Tails is open Wednesdays through Mondays. 1010 Charles St., Fredericksburg

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
