Q: How many dogs owners are registered in Ada's zip code?

By Monty Siekerman
The Ada Dog Park Association is raising funds for an off-leash dog park. This map shows the need: There are 1,352 registered dog owners in 45810 ZIP code, according to the Hardin County auditor's office.

Mapmaker Jimmy Wilson took the auditor's information and plotted where fury friends live in the Ada area. One might be surprised to learn so many dogs live in the community. There are probably more dogs here than this map shows because not everyone who owns a dog buys a license, which if caught could be an expensive offense.
