Do The Bay’s Best Dog Parks
Written by Blake Bejan and Melissa Russi
The Dog: A human's best friend. There when you're down, there when you're up, there to simply have a doggone good time. And let's be honest, there's nothing like having your furry companion during quarantine. So treat Fido right, unclip that leash, let them run free, and have paw-sitively fetching time at the park. Just don't forget to bring your mask and remember to keep your distance from others while out!
