It's a good time for dogs being liberated from impoundment. Anchorage has many parks, some of them devoted to dogs. I do not have a dog but I know a couple with an elderly lab, and we walk her every day. The main socializing I've done since Starbucks kicked us all out of the indoors. Been enjoying the outdoor life and meeting all sorts of interesting dogs. I never knew there was such a thing as a Giant Schnauzer. (I'd call it a "Monster" Schnauzer).
