Brewerytown - it's very pet friendly

Are you looking for a city neighborhood that makes owning a pet easy and enjoyable?  Consider Brewerytown. I don't know the official borders of Brewerytown, but basically I'm referring to the section of Philadelphia that is sandwiched between 26th and 31st Streets and Poplar and Master Streets.
 
Why do I consider it pet friendly?  Let me list a few reasons for you below:
 
1) Lots of open spaces.
 
Fairmount Park butts up against Brewerytown on several fronts.  The nearby Rhododendron Park, Kelly Drive, Lemon Hill, and the recreational areas along North 33rd Street (encroaching into Strawberry Mansion territory), all provide ample space to walk or run your dog.
