According to excerpts from the story:

At Shaggy Pines, dogs and their best friends can walk the 1-mile hiking trail that winds through the park’s towering pines and rolling hills or sit back and relax on the Sunset Deck overlooking the swimming pond. Rover can feel like he’s king of the mountain when he’s playing on Shaggy Pines’ “Doggy Mountain,” a giant heap of sand that’s perfect for climbing and digging. At the end of the day, rinse off Lassie in Shaggy Pines’ self-serve dog wash, and treat her to a yummy biscuit or a new toy from the Doggie Boutique.

“Everyone needs to be ‘unleashed’ occasionally, and that’s particularly true for dogs,” says PETA Director Daphna Nachminovitch. “Adding a stop at the Shaggy Pines Dog Park to your travel plans will ensure fun for every member of the family.”
