Herndon resident Brian Gagne, 55, fisherman, poses for a picture with his dog Papa. “He’s a 4-year-old black lab,” he said. “He’s my best friend.” He was getting some exercise with papa at Herndon dog park. “They have running water and strict rules about picking up after your dog. It’s a great place to bring them,” said Gagne.

Herndon resident Brian Timmer, 46, was at the Herndon dog park with his black lab Ranger and Chip, white with spots. “When I bring them in Cabela’s with me, Chip likes to socialize with people and Ranger likes to do his own thing. I love them both but they have different personalities,” said Timmer. “They are great companions. Chip is well trained and Ranger is mediocre on the training but has more personality,” he said.
