Unleashed: The Dog Runs of New York City [Paperback]

Frances R. Sheridan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2005

Illustrated with stunning photographs, "Unleashed" should appeal to dog-lovers everywhere. It offers the inside story on the active canine world that meets in New York City's famous dog runs. 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 described: 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 Frances R. Sheridan's beautiful full-page photographs of dogs in their element capture the distinctive flavour of each run's atmosphere and its canine patrons. The book includes brief texts by a vet, an animal behavioural psychologist, the NYC Commissioner of the Department of Parks and Recreations and even a section on how to start your own run. "Unleashed" is an informative guide and an entertaining book for anyone who owns, walks or is thinking about getting a dog whether they are a resident of New York or not. It is also a great gift for anyone who loves dogs, fine photography, and New York City.

I loved reading through Frances Sheridan's ode to dog runs in NYC.

It's a beautifuly done & extremely informative book. It deatails and rates all the dog runs in NYC. But what I loved most of all is that it is filled with the most sensitive, funny & touching photos of dogs. Any dog lover and / or photography lover should derive great pleasure from this wonderfull book.
