Dog Fancy magazine has named Houston's Millie Bush Bark Park the best pooch-promenade park in the country, the Houston chronicle reported Sunday.
Millie Bush Bark Park -- named for former President George H.W. Bush's late springer spaniel -- was opened 1 1/2 years ago by Harris County Precinct 3. The 15-arcre park features three man-made ponds, walkways, and fake fire hydrants.
"Never-say-die supporters waged a five-year campaign to open Millie Bush, Houston's first dog park, inside George Bush Park," the magazine said in its June edition.
"And was this Texas-size jewel ever worth the wait."
Dog Fancy editor Susan Chaney said the magazine took nominations from readers and then evaluated the 60 most oft-mentioned parks. Each of the top 10 parks will receive $10,000 each, she said.
