Hi, I'm Toni and this is Spud, and we are at Wright Brothers National
Memorial. And we want to talk to you today about
visiting with your furry family members. So just remember that when you bring
your pet with you to Wright Brothers National Memorial, there are four
principles you need to follow to be a good BARK Ranger.
B is bag your pet's waste. Pet waste can
cause disease amongst wildlife, and it's unpleasant for folks to have to walk
around as they're visiting the memorial. A is always on leash. Your pet is
required to be on a maximum six foot leash at all times while
in the memorial grounds. Just remember that not everyone is a dog person so
they may not want to meet your dog up close no matter how
cute they may be. And R, respect wildlife. So that goes
along with keeping your pet on leash so that they're not approaching wildlife,
bagging their waste, and just making sure that they maintain their distance from
any wildlife that may be in the park. And K, know where you can go. So here at
wright brothers national memorial you can go
pretty much everywhere with your pet except for the visitor center.
Remember that it is very warm and sunny here at Wright Brothers
National Memorial, and to visit safely with your pet you need to be aware of
the signs of heat stress. Make sure that you're always carrying
plenty of water for you and your furry family and that you're
watching for things like excessive panting,
pulling to try to get into those rare shady places,
or lethargy or your dog just not behaving normally.
So remember that you're welcome to bring your pets here to Wright Brothers
National Memorial, and we hope that the next time you visit we'll see you
and your furry friends.
