Los Angeles already has a lot of names, but I would like to propose a few more:
Houndwood; Bow-Wow Land, Poochopolis, The City of Canines?
OK, maybe those aren't the greatest of names, but my point is this:
According to the Found Animals Foundation Survey, there are about 500,000 dogs in the City of L.A., and about 1,000,000 of us throughout L.A. County.
That a whole lot of pooches!
L.A. is indeed a place for dog lovers.
But for some reason, our city never seems to make any website or major publication's list of the top dog cities in America.
So, with this blog and my new website, I've taken on the mission of enlightening the world on just how great we dogs have it here.
Let me ask you this. How many cities:
- border a National Forest with over 500 miles of hiking trails?
- are intersected by the world's largest urban park with another 500+ miles of trails?
- have the largest municipal park with an urban wilderness area in the U.S.?
- enjoy 174 County parks and over 15,000 acres of City park land?
- officially have the most pleasant weather in America?
The answer is just one, the beautiful City of Canines Angels
And its not just an outdoor lovers' paradise. There are dozens and dozens of luxury day care centers and spas that pamper us, restaurants that let us sit on the patio and wait for you to drop something yummy, and boutique stores, hotels, and bakeries that cater to our refined tastes and sense of vanity...
It's good to be a Canine Angeleno.
About once I week I'll be posting information, pictures, and my thoughts about the places I've visited in L.A. and Southern California. Most of the time it will be about a place in L.A. County, but I do enjoy the occasional road trip.
My next post will be about one of my favorite yet most under appreciated places:
The Los Angeles River
So subscribe to this blog and check out my website. Your best friend will thank you.
