Plans initiated by Mayor Ma Ying-jeou at the behest of Taipei City residents to launch pet parks in Taipei were set aside after being snubbed by 12 administrative districts. The Taipei Municipal Institute for Animal Health (TMIAH) was left with no choice but to offer the next best thing-canine mountain trails.
原本市長馬英九因應民眾需求，計畫設立寵物公園，但是推行時卻遭到 12 個行政區里反對，台北市動物衛生檢驗所只好退而求其次，改採設立狗狗登山步道。
