Canines joined leaders from the city, the San Juan Capistrano Open Space Foundation and the Capistrano Animal Rescue Effort Wenesday for the ceremonial first dig that signals the start of construction of the city's first dog park.

The park is to be named after late veterinarian Joe Cortese, and wife Goldie was also on hand to say her thanks. It's being built by the nonprofit Open Space Foundation.
