Soggy doggy

Stanley, left, and his owner, veterinary technician David Gurbacki, find the only patch of dry ground Sunday afternoon at La Salle Park’s Barkyard. Recent snowfall left parks in the area wet and muddy, but that didn’t stop Stanley from getting out to enjoy the sun. The Barkyard is open from dawn to dusk, regardless of weather, and features an area exclusively for small dogs in addition to its general dog run. By Angelica Rodriguez and Brandon Waz
