[PHOTO] Pet statues in front of Pawsway Toronto, 245 Queens Quay West

This pair of statues advertises to passersby on Toronto's waterfront the Pawsway Toronto complex. Wikito's succinct description merits sharing.

PawsWay Toronto is located at Toronto's Harbourfront and is a community attraction for pets and their owners. Located at Queen's Quay and Rees.

The animal-friendly center features plenty of entertainment for pets and their owners, including pet museums and educational exhibits for pet parents. Located at the harbor front on Queen’s Way West, Pawsway is the perfect place for your dog to get tons of interaction with other furry friends, including cats. The center holds a number of events throughout the week, including obedience classes and “puppy kindergarten.”

It's perfectly placed, really: located on 245 Queens Quay West in the middle of Toronto's condo district, a pets-oriented community center would be a natural fit for the rapidly growing resident population. (Pop-sociological speculation about the declining birth rate and rising rates of pet ownership could be inserted here.) The Yelp reviews indicate a place that's of interest to pet owners, as it was of interest to the group of people I was with.

It's strongly dog-oriented, alas; or, unsurprisingly. Cats aren't the most social of animals, after all ...
