Pit Bull Takes a Dip in a Downtown Greensboro Fountain
Taken March 2012
A pit bull mix wades into a public fountain along a downtown Greensboro street, tongue out and soaking in the water. Downtown fountains like this one typically double as public art and informal cooling spots during warmer months, drawing both people and pets. The surrounding sidewalk planters and street furniture suggest a pedestrian-oriented commercial district designed for foot traffic.
