We all miss the dog days of summer and long for the next one, but now you can find out how your dog got to be your dog. If you are in Portland, Oregon, then you can visit the World Forestry Center now through January 4th, 2009 and find out the story of dogs.



Also, while you are there, you can climb on Peggy the 1909 log train that you see in the picture below. Because they didn't have trucks that could handle the large loads of lumber until the mid 1940s, and horses didn't have enough strength either, they had to build this light weight train with lots of power. And thanks to Stimson Lumber you can see the train that they donated to the City of Portland to look into our past.

The Forestry Center is located at 4033 SW Canyon Road, Portland, Oregon, and is open from 10-5pm daily except Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There is a $2 parking fee added to the admission of $8 for Adults and $5 per child 3-18.
