In a world where we all play a part in the grand cycle of life, being out of touch with our roots can seem like a spell that's hard to break. This is a sentiment shared by many of us, local dog owners and lovers of nature that see a chance to reconnect. Therefore, we urge our City Council to consider the establishment of a dog-safe food garden within our beloved local dog park.

Knowledge and concern about what goes into our foods is increasing, and humans aren't the only ones who benefit from safe, organic food sources. Dogs, our wonderful companions, can also gain benefit from certain fresh, clean vegetables like carrots, peas, and cucumbers. According to the American Kennel Club, providing these healthy alternatives can aid in a balanced diet for our furry friends (AKC, 2018).

The integration of gardens in dog parks show dual benefits - it encourages sustainability and organic pet care while helping us reconnect with nature. It's a wonderful way to foster the magic of the root system, as we are all deeply connected to the Earth, including our beloved dogs.

Help us take this step towards a healthier, more connected community for us and our dogs. Because everyone - dogs, humans, and all living beings - should be a part of the magical cycle of life, not separate from it. Please, sign this petition to show your support for a dog-safe food garden in our local dog park.
