Continually updated, this site contains dozens of pix of dogs and their owners taken by Connie Marder. www.geocities.com/herbalpetes/index.html Sunset Park Dog Owners Group and Friends Desiree Leary sunsetbarkpark@yahoo.com. 9/19/03 We have created an online petition for the Sunset Park Dog Run at  www.petitiononline.com/barkpark/petition.html   Please pass this link on to those you feel would support our cause - other dog owners, neighbors, friends....  I'm really not sure who can or can't sign the petition, and obviously the more signatures the better.  But I think it's important to try and get people in our neighborhood and nearby areas to sign first and foremost because these are the people who will be using, maintaining, and living near the dog run.   _parent now progress is slow.  I will wait until we have more signatures until I try to go to the community board.  I am working on a website and a flyer on the laws of dog ownership.  And after we get a few more signatures, I'd like to volunteer our group (Sunset Park Dog Owners Group) to do a general clean up in the park.  I know a lot of people are sick of the glass and chicken bones dotting the landscape.  Please let me know if you or anyone you know is interested in joining our cause. Intersted in joining us? I am reachable at this email address: sunsetbarkpark@yahoo.com. Desiree Leary The Good Dog Foundation Based here in Park Slope, GDF screens and trains dogs for hospital visitation - pet therapy.
