Publisher's Synopsis
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.
