What would be entered in your dog park diary?

Tell us a story and possibly win a great book
Recently we were sent a copy of a cool, new book on the market called Dog Park Diary.
It is by Kim Pearson and it is about the diary of Goody Beagle and what goes on at the dog park. Amazing photos and stories are included in a diary format as if Goody was the one telling the tales.
We have all been to a dog park most likely and maybe even sat there wondering if the dogs are “chatting it up”. Well Kim took it one step further with her book.
Here is how the website describes it.
An opinionated (and sometimes snotty) beagle visits her local dog park every day and records what happened — who was there, what they did, what they said or thought, how they got along with the other dogs, what games they played, how often they peed, and especially what they smelled.
Goody Beagle brought her human with her to write it all down, and invited a photographer to come along too, to capture the dogs of the dog park in pictures. It’s a doggy soap opera come to life! If you have a dog and visit your local dog park, you will recognize the inter-canine dynamics on every page.
If you don’t have a dog, you still might go to the dog park just so you can experience the drama of what goes on there.
My girlfriend and I have given it a read and think it is a pretty great idea I wish I started doing something similar back when Bosco used to spend his days at the dog park in Toronto.
You meet and see a lot of dogs in the book and how they fit into the journey. It is just like reading a story about people and the community they live in.
It is an easy read with a lot of laughs and a lot of creativity. Certainly perfect for kids but as I said, I liked reading it as well.
Win your very own copy
If you would like to win your own copy (or at least the one I just read) all you have to do is leave a comment or send an email telling us about your dog park and why you like it so much. If you really want to be creative, write it in your dog’s own voice.
This will take place for the next two weeks and on July 16th we will post all of the stories and let you vote what one you like best. That of course will determine who gets the book.
Pretty easy right? So send in those stories, comments or reasons why you like you dog park. It does not have to be long, just share with us what you think.
Bosco says thanks.
