Hurricane, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- As the dog days of summer wind down, some lucky pups now have a new place to play!

Sunday, pet owners helped dedicate a new dog park in Putnam County. It's the first of two dog parks being built in the area, and dog owners say the new parks are a welcome addition.

"It's like they look in your soul, you know?" said Joe Haynes, Putnam County Commissioner. "They just touch a part of you that nothing else has that same feeling. People's dogs are part of their family."

The second dog park is set to open in Eleanor by the first of October.

Heather, I would like to try explain this great sport to you but it would be an exercise in futility. You are the kind of person that is the smartest person in the room -- virtually unteachable. If you could please come down from your high horse; worst case scenario you may learn something. I know stereotyping people and calling names gives you a brief feeling of superiority but a more permanent solution would better suffice. Consider psychotherapy. Your friend Luther.

oh heather your comment contradicts itself. read that last line that you wrote and try to tell me that you know where it's going. even though its probably a waste of time i gotta point out that i seriously doubt you know anything about the great sport you speak of. i know this because your ignorance is clearly displayed in your last comment. you try to sound intelligent with that post, you really do, but you only manage to look pitiful with that comment. do us a favor heather, know your role and don't stray too far from the simple topics.

What a total waste of my tax dollars! If you want a doggie park, build one in your back yard! Most kids don't even have access to a community park. Is there something wrong with this picture? We have now put dogs in front of children! Gee whiz, what a crock!
