BARC Canines in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

One of my favorite volunteer activities in the city is walking dogs, usually pitbulls, for the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition in Williamsburg. You get some quality dog-time and get to see the scenic part of hipster-ville.

If I lived equidistant between Coney Island and Central Park, I don’t know if I could decide between the two where to put the towel.
