Is Your Pooch a Good Dog? 🐶
Do they always wear their leash and ID tag, stay out of playing fields and playgrounds, and make sure you’re picking up after them?

We know, we know, this is in Cary, not Raleigh, but the prize is worth the quick drive. Head to Bond Park, Hemlock Bluffs, Thomas Brooks Park, the dog parks at Godbold Park and Jack Smith Park, or Downtown Park today and snap a photo of your leash-wearing dog making the “pawmise” to be entered win.
