As we enter a new springtime, we are please to be highlighting over 1250 dog parks and still going strong! This includes fenced and unfenced, completely legal, off leash play areas, whether they are city, county, state, or privately owned. So, the challenge is to continue adding more dog parks to our maps, as we are sure there are several hundred more to go simply to keep current. All your reviews and photos are greatly welcome in describing your favorite dog parks and its features. Obviously we can't visit them all.

This is a link to a video news clip out of Sacramento of an interview with a champion Beagle and its owners.  Two of the beagles are curled up asleep on the couch and very cute.  The clip starts with a quick commercial and then continues to the beagles.

A Doberman, named, Barnum, was attacked by a deer and amazingly survived the ordeal.  See the full story in the Columbus Dispatch, an Ohio paper.
