If there is such a place as Canine Heaven, Brownie appeared to be there.
The Beagle-Chihuahua mix from Claudville, Virginia, scampered happily around a large fenced-in area at the Rotary Pup Dog Park in Mount Airy Wednesday afternoon. At times, Brownie was proving to be more than a handful for the person at the end of its leash, Andrew Hill, 11, to restrain.
After all, the spacious grounds along the Emily B. Taylor Greenway behind the Lowes Foods shopping center were offering not only room to run, but small agility stations featuring hurdles, bridges and other obstacle course-implements appealing to canines’ playful side.
