I saw dogs on the decks of restaurants, walking in the park, and on hiking trails. There will be some trails in Acadia that wouldn't be good for pets because of the rocks.

Depends on amount you want to be outdoors/amount you want to spend. Personally: Drive the Park Loop Road ... take a day (stop for views/short walks/see Sand Beach). Drive up Cadillac Mountain. Day 2: rent bikes and enjoy them on the Carriage Trails/dinner in Bar Harbor. Day 3: hike a small peak like Acadia or a bigger one on the east side. Walk up Beehive if you like views and are not afraid of heights. See the lighthouse. Dinner on the quiet side.
