Unleashed: The Dog Runs Of New York City

by Frances R. Sheridan

The only guide to New York City’s dog runs you and your dog will ever need. With stunning photographs, Unleashed offers the inside story on the active canine world that meets in dog runs all over New York City. Dog owners will find the bounty of information here endlessly useful and easy to access. Divided into five sections—one for each borough—each dog run is closely its size, location, amenities, lighting, and hours, are catalogued while a "four-paw" system rates the overall quality. Photos of the area, easy to follow maps and, of course, Frances R. Sheridan’s beautiful full-page photographs of dogs in their element capture the distinctive flavor of each run’s atmosphere and its canine patrons. The book includes brief texts by a veterinarian, an animal behaviorist, and the NYC Commissioner of the Department of Parks and Recreations, and even a section on how to start your own run.
