For many, weekends around Greensboro are dog-walking-adventure time. Above, a man walks his Weimaraner on the Westover Terrace side of Grimsley High School. These dogs, often described as mouse-gray, were bread for hunting in the early 19th century. Greensboro is a dog-friendly city. We have the Bark Park at Country Park where dogs can play off-leash. Additionall, our greenway trails are a great place to walk with leashed dogs. If you are local and in need of a canine companion, the Guilford County Animal Shelter is a fabulous place to start.... and finish! When we checked yesterday, they had fifty-five dogs, forty-seven cats, and two adorable bunnies; all are looking for forever homes. Based on the enjoyment the man in the above photo exuded while playing with his canine, the Weimaraner, indeed, has his forever home!
What bothers me is that the dog seems off leash in a public place. I know many owners who think they have control of their dogs, but while walking my dog (on leash), I have been accosted several times by dogs who might have been struck by a car running across the street to get at me and my dog.
