Recommended: An essay on dog parks

I have a park about three blocks west of my apartment. This park is neighboring the Chapman Elementary School in the Alphabet District of Portland. Within this park, is a dog park, the Wallace Dog Park. A wood-chipped area with lots of shade for my lovely, furry Kiba-Roo to spend his time. Kiba is my three-year-old border collie, shepard mix dog. He also happens to be my best friend, my roommate, and my bed hogger. As far as being my roommate goes, he’s a terrible one. Toys never put back into the basket, always begging for my food, and might I mention, his fur isn’t going to vacuum up itself! Either way, I love him far too much to care about his living habits.

First, his eyes get wide, next he runs to his leash, then he prances back and forth between me and the front door. Once we set out on our short, yet lovely walk, we set our pace. Not too fast, not too slow. We send friendly faces towards those passing and we cross roads briskly but with caution. Not only is the walk to the park exciting, but arriving at a park full of wagging tails and friendly barks is not terrible either. I find this quality time with my dog to be very special. Going to school full-time and working a part-time job makes me truly appreciate the time we get to go to “our

    Having a dog can be a great experience for people who enjoy their company. These animals are usually friendly and active; they are intelligent and can develop a strong relationship with their owners based on love and care.

  • Stereotypes In The Breakfast Club

    Is it strange that I don’t have a dog, but I love the opportunity to observe the antics at our local off leash dog parks? Frankly, every time I visit an off leash park I am reminded of The Breakfast Club, the 1985 coming of age movie about High School cliques and stereotypes. Seriously, take a moment to sit and observe the action. You will notice the athlete, the spoiled rich kid, the brainy nerd, the introverted loner and the rebellious punk all joyously sniffing and romping gleefully while their humans mix and mingle. Just like the movie, the dogs seem to come together, bare their souls and discover that they have more in common than first thought.
