Back in 2012, Wag More Dogs lost their battle with Arlington County over the mural decorating the side of their building that faces the Shirlington dog park. The cute frolicking dogs were replaced with odd, otherworldly figures that looked like they belonged in a Maurice Sendak book.
But I’m happy to report on my last visit to the park, the mural has again been changed. This time it features animals dogs love to chase—cats, squirrels, mice and bunnies—as well as happy images of the DC monuments. I guess as long as no DOGS are shown in artwork facing a DOG park, Arlington County might actually focus on more important things, like potholes and getting Fios into Shirlington.
Enjoy.
