Since the question is "What is the Most Dog Friendly Region or City in the World?" seems a little bit strange to think that ONLY in Northamerica one can find such a place. But in order to please everyone I will name the best place for Dogs in USA.
According to "www.associatedcontent.com" Dog Fancy Magazine, the world's premiere dog magazine gave:
1) San Diego, California, the title of "DogTown USA 2007".
This in recognition to the fact that this lovely city by the sea is a fabulous place for man's best friend. Dog Fancy's readers nominate America's "most dog-friendly city" after digging high and low, reading all submitted entries carefully, and researching facts and figures. The runners up were:
2. Austin, TX
3. Fort Collins, CO
4. Madison, WI
5. Sanford, FL
6. Long Beach, CA
7. Seattle, WA
8. Colorado Springs, CO
9. Carmel, CA

According to "www.dogchannel.com" 2007 survey on" America’s Best Dog Parks and 10 canine playgrounds" the winner goes to:
* The Best All-Around Dog Park

Gilbert was recently named one of America’s best places to live by Money magazine. And judging by Cosmo Dog Park, it’s also a pretty fine place for dogs to live.

Nice response and while US locations are great to know about for people who are in those areas, I asked the question b/c I am interested in learning about all areas in the world that rank high on the 'dog friendly' meter. As we have many members from around the world - I am hoping we hear from them on this question...I've heard that France and Paris are very dog friendly...
Tip hillo for this comment

I was surprised that Forbes has Colorado Springs, CO. at the top of the list on the most pet friendly cities in America.
http://www.forbes.com/2007/10/10/pets-colorado-economics-biz-cx_tvr_1010pets.html
2. Portland, OR
3. Albuquerque, NM
4. Austin, TX
5. Charlotte, NC
This of course is per capita and covers everything from acreage of play space to number of vets available.
Since living in Denver for quite some time, I knew that Colorado was a pet friendly and happy place, but wouldn't have guessed that it's number 1 in the US!
I did find it humorous that Estes Park (in Colorado) had a doggie park next to an open area that the elk come through at certain times of the year.
I guess it's a great place no matter what kind of animal you are!

@hillo, I did find this interesting blog by Beverley Cuddy "where is it best to be a dog?
http://coldwetnose.blogspot.com/2009/07/where-is-it-best-to-be-dog.html
You might want to keep an eye on this page since it looks like people are putting some interesting information down on it.
Regarding other countries...
My guess would be that France and the UK are the most dog friendly.
This link does state that Paris tops the list!

Thanks for those Pet Friendly Cities tips @bunnyphuphu!
I can tell you that when it comes to beaches, bars and restaurants it's NOT Los Angeles. Dogs are not allowed on most beaches, and restaurants are very scared of getting tickets even in outdoor spaces.
San Francisco seems much more dog-friendly as I see dogs on the beaches and in bars frequently.
