    "The dog park is pretty well maintained and friendly people and dogs mostly. Great pet supply stores and some shops have dog ice cream and dog beer. Always ask if a dog is friendly first and be a little bit more wary of people walking their dogs who are irresponsible and delusional about their dogs being aggressive. "
