Hundreds of dog-lovers gathered at Crissy Field on Saturday and braved early morning fog and wind to let their bark be heard concerning the latest proposed dog-management rules for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The loud and colorful march started off across from East Beach where dozens of dogs and their uprights were playing – and which would be closed to all dogs in the future if the plan moves forward. Before the crowd left for a rally at lower Fort Mason, dog-passionate San Francisco Supervisor, Scott Wiener, joined SF SPCA Co-President Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, in urging the group to continue to get the word out to all dog lovers about these restrictive plans and to be sure to contact everyone’s local, state and federal elected officials and let your voice be heard.

Indian Summer @ Nick’s Cove

Nick’s Cove Restaurant, Oyster Bar & Cottages has always been dog-friendly. Kayla, DogTrekker.com’s “research Lab,”  has given Nick’s her Paw of Approval on many visits. Earlier this year, Nick’s moved into the “dog-passionate” category by adding a waterfront patio and oyster bar where as many as 30 people can enjoy cocktails and oysters with their four-legged friends.

Next week you’ll have a chance to speak out at a series of public meetings.
