Dayna Carnival does what she calls "The Dance of the Dogs" as she walks, left to right, Kodi, Skye, Huck and Plumeria on a trail near her Palmer Lake home. Carnival is a professional pet sitter.

Colorado Springs has gone to the dogs - again.

The city was named Dog-Town, USA, by Dog Fancy magazine.

The city was chosen because it has ample dogfriendly open spaces, plenty of dog parks, cool events that celebrate dogs, a high vet-to-dog ratio, plenty of dog-friendly businesses and laws that protect pets.
