Well, we knew we didn’t have a chance of winning since a Decatur resident’s submission missed the deadline, but it’s sorta cool that a fellow Georgia city won the $500,000 from Beneful to renovate a dog park.

How does one spend a whopping $500,000 on a dog park? According to the AJC’s article, the renovated park will feature a rubber mulch trail, a “water spray area” and “a large, bone-shaped ramp with cylindrical tunnels running beneath”.

In related news, a commenter recently noted that Decatur’s Adair Park dog park just got some new metal benches and a water fountain.  I mean really, what more does a dog need?
