Don't get me wrong... I like dogs! Nonetheless, I get weird reactions when I ask condo developers to include a dog run in their amenities offering. Toronto may get high-ratings in other categories of worldly urban classism, however... we're suffering a critical dog run GAP and find ourselves lagging far behind Manhattan, Chicago, and even Austin Texas and Boca Raton - just to mention a few.
I'm not talking about some crude pad-and-bag contrivance. I'm talking about award-winning world class spaces and places, which are given top billings in condo-amenities listings. 
Dog remains man's best friend, and is lavished with at least three routines per day to do Pmail messaging, besides any bounding about excursion.Conservatively, I figure on: one dog per floor in a condo tower - which within the Yonge Eglinton Growth Centre means 1,800 more dogs in the near future and 5,400 more Pmail sessions per day within the Centre's 500m radius. This is an area which is already chronically short of green space - and the preference is to reduce the brown spots.
So let's close the GAP!
