PITTSBURGH -- South Side dogs could have a new place to play by next spring.

Ken Wolfe, chief of staff for Councilman Bruce Kraus, said the idea for a new dog park is preliminary, but Kraus is optimistic the $80,000 line item will survive the city's budget process.

The dog park would cost about $240,000 but the $80,000 allocation would pay for the fence, which is the biggest hurdle, Wolfe said.

According to Wolfe, a third of the cost would be absorbed by the city's Public Works and another third would have to be raised.
