Man’s (and woman’s) best friend doesn’t have to get left at home during selected games that many teams host. These promotions go by different names – Bark in the Park, Dog Days, Pooches in the Park, and Puppypalooza – but they all are somewhat similar.
Owners and dogs all sit together in a designated section. Owners are expected to clean up after their dogs and generally be responsible owners.
At Cincinnati’s two Bark in the Park games, owners can join in a pregame pet parade around the field and compete for prizes given for best dog tricks, best Reds-dressed dog, and largest and smallest dog.
