## Story

Millennials love to pamper their dogs. The upcoming opening of Garden City's Hounds Town USA was mentioned in the article along with the Hicksville opening set for this spring. Hounds Town USA Farmingdale franchisee, Teri Brogden, was also featured in the piece.

"They (millennials) follow us on social media to see pictures of their dogs or see what's going on for the day," Brogden said to Newsday. They want to know which dogs their dogs are playing with and become friends with the other parents. Some even make dog-park play dates with each other. It's great."
