The article analyzes the emergence of dog parks in Polandi, on the basis of stories from local media, with emphasis on how dog park proponents justify the need for establishing dog runs. Even though official arguments present dog parks as an amenity that offers training opportunities for dogs, the guardians’ activism is motivated by the recognition of their dogs’ needs for off-leash play and social interaction with others dogs. The guardians often phrase the arguments using language that presents the interests of the human and the canine as inseparable, sometimes even merging the human and the dog through the use of second person plural. The article identifies this type of argumentation as an expression of more-than-human agency: the humans not only see themselves as speaking on behalf of their dogs, but see themselves as speaking with their dogs. However, the article also identifies social and cultural factors that have made dog parks a desirable amenity in Poland. These include the parks’ associations with progress, modernity and broadly understood “Western” culture. The drive to build parks is thus also tied with the desire for a spatial emblem of the recognition of the human-canine bond. These social and cultural factors also shape the hybrid agency at work in the Polish dog park debates.

本文根据当地媒体的报道分析了波兰尼犬场的出现，重点是犬场支持者如何证明建立犬行的必要性。尽管官方的论点认为狗公园是一种为狗提供训练机会的便利设施，但监护人的积极性是由于认识到他们的狗对无绳牵引游戏和与其他狗进行社交互动的需求而产生的。监护人经常使用表达人类和犬的利益密不可分的语言来表达论点，有时甚至通过使用第二人称复数来将人类和狗融合在一起。文章将这种论点识别为一种超越人类的机能的表达：人类不仅将自己视为代表狗说话，而且还将自己视为与狗说话。但是，该文章还指出了社会和文化因素，这些因素已使波兰犬公园成为人们理想的生活设施。这些包括公园与进步，现代性和广泛理解的“西方”文化的联系。因此，建造公园的动力还与渴望人与狗之间的联系得到空间象征的渴望联系在一起。这些社会和文化因素也影响了波兰狗公园辩论中混合动力机构的工作。
