Spotty Dog Books & Ale

Travel + Leisure chooses Hudson as one of the best small towns in America. Check out the snazzy photo of The Spotty Dog in the article itself. Many of the other small towns look a lot warmer . . .

Lots of nice day trips, Hudson included! Keep in mind, loves, that the pictures of Spotty are rather dated, and definitely taken before our flood. But we (and other Hudson businesses) would love to see you!

Out of an abundance of caution (and busy staff schedules, and because we love you) we are taking the day off due to Thursday staff having a kid in quarantine because of potential contact with someone with a positive COVID test. We all feel fine, so no worries. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 12-5:00 as usual.

Updated hours! We’re now open Sundays, 12-5 for the holiday season still just curb-side; our flood damage has made the store a construction site! If you’re looking to buy something from us for the holidays, please call or email us ASAP! If we have to order it, it’s better to get that order in as soon as humanely possible. Santa is experiencing mailing delays this year As always, we appreciate your support & patience. Stay warm & well!
