Episode 3
Dogs bring people together, but what does that mean when a pandemic forces all the public dog parks to close? New York City Dog Trainer Garrett Rosso of Village Dogworks joins Ken Foster to talk about the history of Tompkins Square's First Run, what it is like to be back in Manhattan after quarantining in the country, and what the future of dog walking and dog parks looks like, including the annual Halloween dog parade, which draws tens of thousands of visitors.
