Final Project... Dogs and Dog Parks






Final project was a bivariate map of projected dog population in 2007 using 2001 data and # of dog parks in each state... The dog population aspect was to give the map a little more color and attempt to link # of dog parks and total dog population.

The dog parks aspect is the primary focus.






1. My site for getting the population of owned dogs per state. It will give you population of all owned pets http://www.michvma.org/documents/site%20update%20docs/petownerstats.pdf



2. My site I used to manually count every dog park in america.
