Millie Bush is the best dog park
This is pretty neat: the Millie Bush Bark Park has been named the best dog park in the U.S.:
Millie Bush Bark Park in far west Houston has been ranked the best in the nation by Dog Fancy magazine.
The 15-acre dog park, with three man-made ponds, walkways and fake fire hydrants, was opened 1 1/2 years ago by Harris County Precinct 3 and was named in honor of the former president's late springer spaniel.
"Never-say-die supporters waged a five-year campaign to open Millie Bush, Houston's first dog park, inside George Bush Park," says the magazine in its June edition.
"And was this Texas-size jewel ever worth the wait."
Susan Chaney, editor of Dog Fancy, said the magazine took nominations from readers and assigned a writer to evaluate the 60 parks that were mentioned the most.
There are about 700 dog parks around the country, she said.
"The reason Millie Bush Park came in on top is that after the writer had interviewed people about the park, her comment was that they had unparalleled amenities, including three man-made ponds — one that was designated just for small dogs. That was pretty impressive to us."
THIS is world-class! Or is it woof-class?
