Despite the Cincinnati Reds losing to the San Diego Padres 7-3 at Great American Ball Park Wednesday, May 22, tails were still wagging as Reds fans brought out their pups to watch the game for the special Bark in the Park. And while the Reds’ loss brought their win-loss record to 20-29 and they’re currently at the bottom of the National League Central, at least there was a lot of cuteness to go around.

The next Bark in the Park games will be Monday, Aug. 12 and Wednesday, Sept. 18. Keep scrolling for everything we saw at the May 22 Reds’ Bark in the Park game.
