I haven’t had a dog since I was a little girl. I thought my life was fine that way until the moment I ran into a canine park in my neighborhood. That day everything changed, and now I need a dog so I can take him there.

Inside the park there’s a huge lattice outdoor space for dogs of any size. There you can let them free — no necklaces or leashes. My best friend lent me her dog so I could enter.

It was amazing. I got in with my borrowed dog and set him free. He started running everywhere and playing with all the other dogs from the neighborhood. I have never realized how relaxing it was to see many dogs playing together. No harm in them all playing peacefully.

As the owner, you can take a seat in some of the benches and forget about everything. The place is fresh and you can smoke there or drink some non-alcoholic beverages while you see all the dogs running around you. It’s a good option for dogs that live in small places or apartments and don’t have any chance to hang out with friends. We also need to think about them — or just enter to take a break from the city.
