    "I, personally, am a dog owner that lives in Kearney, and I absolutely love it, and my puppy Helios does as well! Many people walk their dogs on each and every nice day out, and it’s truly such a peaceful atmosphere to walk your dog in, and there are endless places to take your dog, or to pamper them :) Definitely a dog owner Heaven to me!"
