Read the Park's Policy. The rangers WILL enforce it and, no, your dog is not a "special case."
Anywhere we can take Jack, he goes with us. He has barked to protect us (at long range) from bears and mountain goats. He was, however, silent when confronted by bison.
If we want to go someplace that he is not permitted (inside buildingd or on trails, for instance)he sleeps in the trailer in his crate (which he considers to be his "house"). We have been known to leave him in the truck with the engine running (diesels will idle comfortably all day) and the air conditioning on while we BRIEFLY used the rest room or got something to eat and bring back.
He travels on the back seat behind the driver with a safety harness clipped th the child seat restraint with just enough line so he can lie down comfortably. Wherever the trailer goes, he goes.
