Meet To Play! - The Dogs Of Zhong Shan Park
I am not a morning person. But okay, okay! I will be making a commitment to wake up earlier by next week! Also, you would have realised by now that The Wong Dogs are fairly outdoor-sy. If it is not the dog park,
it is hiking/dog hashing or the dog swimming pool. Singapore is as such that we
do not have that many options to let our canines expand their energy.
Imagine our pleasant surprise when an early morning jaunt led me to uncover a pack of pet owners in my very own backyard - at Balestier's Zhong Shan Park.
One of the pioneers, Judy Low
says the idea came about a three years ago, “I live nearby so I am always
looking for a place for my dogs to chill out after their walk.” From the
original four to five canines, The Zhong Shan Park gatherings now boast more than
10 dogs on weekdays to a whopping 20 to 30 on weekends!
The group gets quite a bit of attention and has garnered the interest of visitors who are usually with young
children. In fact, there are a couple of young kids who will be down daily just
to look and play with the dogs.
Want to join in their daily
gatherings? Get ready to be an early bird! The casual group meets Mondays to
Sundays from 8am to about 930am at Zhong Shan Park. Be there or be square!
