The City of Knoxville has been recognized as the most dog-friendly city in the Southeast by Dog Fancy Magazine according to a press release from the Knoxville-based PetSafe.
In 2009, the widely-read national magazine for dog owners recognized the City of Knoxville's Dogwood Park in its annual "America's Best Dog Parks" contest.
Knoxville and Knox County are home to four off-leash dog parks and two more are in the planning stages thanks in large part to PetSafe. The pet products and services company has donated $500,000 for the development of dog parks here.
The new issue of Dog Fancy Magazine arrives on the stands later this month.
