How both sides of Texarkana got a Dog Park.

(The PetSafe Kylee Sullivan Dog Park in Texas and the PetSafe JefFURson Dog Park in Arkansas. Texarkana, Ark. was awarded $100,000 to build a dog park after winning PetSafe’s Bark for Your Park contest in 2012, and Texarkana, Texas took home the $100,000 prize the following summer in PetSafe’s 2013 Bark for Your Park contest)

We are probably the only city in America that shares two Dog Parks from PetSafe.
