There are dog parks in all but three states, and an increasing number of the nation’s 65 million dog owners are discovering their various pleasures.
In this first-ever children’s book about dog parks, dogs Sam and Lucy eagerly take part in a dog fiesta of movement and fun, running off-leash, free to cavort, to meet and greet, to leap and chase.
The final page has information for those adults who haven’t yet been to one about what to expect at a dog park and how to create a new one.

“Sam and Lucy are excited to be going to the dog park with their
‘people.’ Written entirely in short phrases ‘spoken’ by the various
animals, the text is breezy and light, switching quickly from one pup
to another. The crisp watercolor illustrations capture their energy and
exuberance. The many breeds depicted are listed on the inside flap of
the book jacket, encouraging readers to find them in the pictures.”
