Dog park

Think about our best friends. The ones who we trust. The ones who always keep our secrets. Our furry little friends. Our dogs!

We love them a lot, and we want them to enjoy life with us. But once in a while we want them to enjoy life with their own species, too.

I would enjoy watching my dog playing with other dogs. And I guess many people would like to see that, too: to have a dog park in Maricopa. It runs through my head with all my other ideas to help the community. But this one is the one I would really like to talk about.

I know the city has economic problems like any other cities, but we are a team. WE can all volunteer at the dog park. It’s not only me that wants to help; many other people want this, too.

We can all raise money. We have to try.
