Dog-friendly communities happen when those who understand the multiple benefits to everyone stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves, namely the dogs. Huge kudos to the people of this community in the Dayton, Ohio region who are encouraging positive change that will bring about a better region for us all. this is Renee. She is speaking with the local media and pleading her case as she and her fellow dog lovers try with all their might to save their beloved dog park. I’m going to remain positive and wait to be delighted when it all works out in the end. . . . . #Optimist #DogFriendly #EconomicDevelopment #WhereTheWagHappens #Wagtown #OffLeashAreas #PrioritizeYourCommunityBonuses #BetterCityForPets #dollarsfollowdogs #safer #healthier #strongerbonds #responsibledogownership (at Deeds Point MetroPark)

Love this duo from the off-leash dog park at Deeds today. It’s a shame that it will one day be gone to development....especially when it’s the only dog park in the entire town. Maybe our wishes will come true & we can find a mutually beneficial understanding to keep the dog park and enhance the overall value of the city. Fingers and paws crossed. 🐾👍🏼🐕😱😥 (at Downtown Dayton Dog Park At Deeds Point)

🐾👍🏼 Great day at @deeds_point_dog_park for a fundraiser as the citizens who are pleading for an official dog park in @cityofdayton continue to show how they’ve made great neighborhood connections, socialized their dogs (and themselves), and are off the couch and meeting new friends. #wagtown #wherethewaghappens #daytonohio #zerodogparks 😱 (at Dayton, Ohio)
