Dog Park
Introduction
The dog ate my homework, my notes and my computer. One might think this is a lame excuse that students only give teacher, or one might think that, because this happened to you, the dog is just bad and mischievous. But let 's get to the root cause of this problem, when was the last time the dog ran and played until it couldn 't anymore? The answer to this question is probably a long a time. If the answer though is just yesterday, or earlier today, then you probably wouldn 't know anything about the dog eating your notes, homework . or computer. An exercised dog is more behaved than the stove up in an apartment dog because he has used all the energy that he should have been able to use.

There are 9,982 students currently enrolled at the University of West Florida (UWF). Lots of these students, not to mention the faculty, are dog owners. Statistics show that 39% of all households in the U.S. own at least one dog, and 37% of those owners own two dogs or more (U.S. Pet Ownership Statistics). This means we could assume that 39% of the students enrolled at UWF own at least one dog assuming that each student is from a different household. That means that there are 3,693 dog owners who attend UWF. While there are many students here from the same household this number did not include the 39% of dog owners who own two or more dogs, nor does it include faculty and staff here at UWF which is where we get away with still using number. With this said, most students live in an apartment, which has no yard to speak of, or in a neighbor with a very small yard. After the students leave their dogs inside or
