    I recently adopted a dog abandoned in a park. Wild that people just drop them off. Mine was in a dog park, at least, so I guess they assumed someone would care and just take him?

      Our park isn’t particularly a dog park, but dogs are definitely welcome. Our park is a water park with a splash pad and kids play area, a couple of pavilions, a few wide open fields, a fishing pier with two covered pavilions of its own to fish from, a walking track and a boat ramp.

      Even our city mayor comes out to the park occasionally to host parties, and those parties can get huge!

      So yeah, even when we’re too busy to go out to feed them, other people have been helping with the good cause. Shit, even a couple of passing homeless people have brought them food too.

      I knew it was just a matter of time before people talked around enough to try to find them a proper forever home. They haven’t quite been adopted just yet, but from what I heard yesterday from a neighbor that lives near the park is they’ll probably be adopted soon.
