I would bring my aging dog, Caesar, when he was 14/15 for short strolls in flat areas. He would enjoy being outdoors here and take in the fresh air, sniff about. It brought me joy to watch him enjoy the beautiful environment that he could only smell and feel at that time, as his vision has become very poor. Whenever I go to the arboretum now with my new rescue, Iggy, I fondly recall my moments with Caesar, and shed a tear or two of joy from the happiness he brought me when we were there together. The arboretum is a happy place for me, and brings me joy. I’m grateful you allow your patrons to bring their pets with them to this gorgeous space.
