FEATURES
The Big Bad Woof BY TONY HENDRA Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the park come the trendy canines as big as cars -- and the barking manifest-destiny types who own them. Plus: Ruth J. Katz on dog therapy; Ondine Cohane on canine services; and Nancy Jo Sales on women who love dogs too much.
