Quote of the Day

Posted by Chris Spags on February 8th, 2010 at 12:23 pm

I’m not a dog owner (primarily due to my live-in girlfriend’s allergy to them), but I’m definitely a dog sympathizer. So I read this story about arguably the world’s most awesome dog park in Tampa Bay. But what should have been a story with adorable dog pictures happened to have a hilarious quote about what douchebags we humans are with letting pets run our lives.

The popular Davis Islands dog park, the city’s first with a beach, soon will undergo improvements.

The narrow strip of beachfront with magnificent views of downtown Tampa was made available a decade ago through an easement from the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority.

Hyde Park resident Cynthia Davis and her two dogs often spend an hour or more at the beach.

It’s a favorite haunt of the two mixed-breed dogs she adopted at animal shelters when they were pups.

“I have to do this all day,” Davis said as she again prepared to hurl a tennis ball into Hillsborough Bay for 8-year-old Andre to retrieve. “Otherwise he’ll just stand there and stare at me.”
