Bark in the Park

Calling all dog-loving Arizona Diamondbacks fans — On Sunday May 27, you can bring your dog to Chase Field in downtown Phoenix to watch the baseball game with you.

Last year, about 200 dogs came to Bark in the Park. This year, the Diamondbacks are hoping for double that number of dogs. Five dollars of every ticket goes to the Arizona Animal Welfare League.

What’s the catch? Act fast. You have to buy your tickets in advance and register your dog with the D’backs. Here’s the paperwork.

I talked with the Diamondbacks today and they said tickets were going fast.

I’m not bringing the Beagle to this one. The last time she went to a ballgame she kept trying to tackle the guys who walk down the aisles hawking food. She nearly nailed the nachos guy. I have always thought, however, that having an elite team of Beagles working as a clean-up crew would save the Diamondbacks a ton of money. There wouldn’t be any peanut shells or half-eaten hot dogs or pretzels in the place.

See you at the ballpark!
