Stephen Foster, a member of a group of big-dog park regulars at White Rock Lake, takes a moment with his dog, Smokey.

A Saturday morning visit to the big-dog park finds Huckleberry, the parks famed mischief-maker, taking a break from a frenetic game of go-fetch.

At the small-dog park, Mitchell Chandler shares a laugh with his pets, Rowdy and Stumpy.

Andie Comini spent months trying to get city officials to see the value of an off-leash dog park at White Rock Lake. Her troop of Japanese chins, (from left) PooChiNi, RooBella and BooKoozzo, needed much less convincing.

Unleashed, one of the countrys first indoor dog parks, has taken the dog park experience to new levels of luxury for dogs and owners alike.

Huckleberry (with owner Carol Pettee) leaps to catch a tennis ball one morning
at the big-dog park where dogs who weigh more than 30 pounds can meet and
greet other dogs who weigh more than 30 pounds.

Jim Christian is the
de facto leader of a group of big-dog park regulars. Pictured with him are two of his three dogs, Luke (left) and Journey, also dog park regulars.
