Unless you live at the Mayor’s Mansion (BTW… Happy Pants is proud to have been selected to provide care for the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC Animals!) and have 11 acres to frolic, have an abundance of free time, or a designated staff of Dog Walker and Dog Runners at your disposal, you probably need to figure a way to make sure that your dog gets the daily love and exercise it needs and deserves.
