Anita Williams watches the dogs romp during playtime at Dogs All Day on South Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina, March 17, 2010. The 11,000-square-foot center opened a year ago, providing a service that’s gaining fans here and across the country. The first local doggie day care opened about 10 years ago, and there are now about 20 in and around Charlotte. (Todd Sumlin/Charlotte Observer/MCT)
