We love our dogs in Boulder County, especially when they wow us with amazing tricks like diving for a Frisbee as Socks did here.
Want some evidence? Public pools such as Scott Carpenter pool in Boulder and local rec centers allow canines to take to the water for a day at end of season or during closures for yearly cleaning. In Boulder, since a law was passed in 2009, dogs’ best friends are called guardians instead of owners.
But you don’t need fun facts to discern the human-dog bond in these parts. Look around you. Dogs are everywhere – on Open Space trails and streets, not to mention in most of your friends’ homes and apartments.
