Lab #9 Macon Dog Park

When we went to the dog park it started storming pretty badly so we ended up turning around.  However are original intention for going was to see how beneficial dogs parks are for the community and to test the creek water in the park for any contamination specifically bacteria or parasites in the water.  The reason for checking this creek specifically is because dogs drink out of it frequently and it is a man made creek that dogs are around constantly.  The dog park has a large amount of pros and cons the pros would be that the community benefits for    a space that dog owners can come together and have fun and gives a large space for dogs to run around in.  The cons are more potential for dog fights, owners not picking up the dog poop, and the potential for large concentrations of bacteria and germs for dogs.
