The dog days of summertime are looking great for location pooches.
They will be the important invitees at Allegheny County-sponsored events in Harrison, Indiana Township and Monroeville.
The county’s Special Events Department is hosting a totally free, roaming celebration for four-legged good friends at Harrison Hills, Hartwood Acres and Boyce Park.
The themed celebrations will happen at each park’s off-leash area from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on these Tuesdays:
• July 18, Harrison Hills;
• July 25, Boyce Park;
• Aug. 1, Hartwood Acres.
County spokesperson Amie Downs said the yearly occasions are specifically tailored for pups and their owners. They will consist of music and free gifts of Frisbees, tennis balls, water bowls and waste bags.
“I think it’s great,” said Lindsay Ward, who often visits the brand-new dog park at Harrison Hills with ZZ, her Shih Tzu.
“I was so happy that they finally opened the park up in our area. The fact that they have fun things is just icing on the cake.”
Several of the occasions will consist of a premium family pet food truck owned by a previous Tarentum homeowner.
Bentley’s Doggie Bistroowned by Bill Rossey of Oakmont, offers a range of snacks, chew toys and other novelties.
“Everything is unique,” said Rossey, who formerly functioned as community supervisor for Tarentum and Sharpsburg.
Since retiring from city government, Rossey and his 110-pound Bernadoodle have actually struck the roadway with his unique snack shack, providing treats that are natural, bacon-infused or dipped in salmon oil.
Over the previous year, he has actually participated in numerous county-sponsored occasions and regional night markets.
He prepares to roll into Springdale Community Day today along Lincoln Avenue.
Anyone who goes to the county dog celebrations should comply with a list of rules that consist of family pets being accredited and owners remaining in control at all times.
