4-Legged Fans Take Over Turner Field; Dogs Return In Bark In The Park

Posted: 5:07 pm EDT September 6, 2007Updated: 8:08 pm EDT September 11, 2007

More than 600 four-legged fans made their way to Turner Field Sunday. They were on hand to bark, scratch and cheer on the Atlanta Braves.

The club hosted the season's second "Bark in the Park." The event offered Braves fans a chance to bring their dogs out to the game. WAG-A-LOT doggie day care helped transform Coca-Cola Sky Field into a doggie paradise. There were pools, water misters, games and veterinary services for all the dogs.

Proceeds from "Bark in the Park" benefited Bobby Cox's "Paws beCause...They are worth Saving" fund.

This was the second such event this year. The club hosted the inaugural "Bark in the Park" last season. Both events this year were a sell-out. Unfortunately all that barking and growling was for not, the Washington Nationals beat the Braves.

Don't miss both the video and slideshow from the event as the dogs took in the game.
