Brooklyn Heights dog owners have been able to bring their dog to a "free stick library” for the last few weeks.

It works a lot like a free book library, where you can pick out a book and replace it. This stick library allows your four-legged friend to pick out their own stick.

"There was one time that I was actually able to pick up a stick and take it," said Sean, with Little Dipper Pet Care.

"Maybe one day if one of my dogs picks up a stick, I'll contribute so all other dogs in the neighborhood can enjoy," said Alfa, a walker with Kenny the Dogwalker.
