GREAT COFFEE TABLE BOOK - The only guide to New York City’s dog runs you and your dog will ever need.
With stunning photographs, Unleashed offers the inside story on the
active canine world that meets in dog runs all over New York City. Divided into
five sections—one for each borough—the book features descriptions of each
dog run while a “four-paw” system rates their overall quality. Photos of the
area, easy-to-follow maps, and Frances R. Sheridan’s beautiful full-page
photographs of dogs in their element capture each run’s atmosphere and the
character of its canine patrons. Unleashed is an informative and
entertaining book for anyone who owns, walks, or is thinking about getting a
dog.
“The photographs of Frances R. Sheridan interpret the expressive language
of the dogs in a way that can be understood by anyone who possesses a heart.”

The only guide to New York City’s dog runs you and your dog will ever need.
With stunning photographs, Unleashed offers the inside story on the
active canine world that meets in dog runs all over New York City.
Dog owners will find the bounty of information here endlessly useful and easy
to access. Divided into five sections—one for each borough—each dog run is
closely described: its size, location, amenities, lighting, and hours, are
catalogued while a “four-paw” system rates the overall quality. Photos of
the area, easy to follow maps and, of course, Frances R. Sheridan’s beautiful
full-page photographs of dogs in their element capture the distinctive flavor of
each run’s atmosphere and its canine patrons. The book includes brief texts by
a veterinarian, an animal behaviorist, and the NYC Commissioner of the
Department of Parks and Recreations, and even a section on how to start your own
run.
Unleashed is an informative guide and an entertaining book for anyone who
owns, walks or is thinking about getting a dog. It is also a great gift for
anyone who loves dogs, fine photography, and New York City.
Frances R. Sheridan’s photographs have appeared in numerous exhibitions and
permanent collections, including the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog. She
lives in New York City.
