Yellowstone and a dog?
Planning to go visit Yellowstone NP in earlier part of July. Almost made it 2 seasons ago but bailed out at the last minute due to a nearby wildfire. Didn't have our dog with us back then but will...

Doing this can either get your pup killed, or maybe you.
YNP puts out information on dogs. Bears sometimes follow a loose dog back to it's owners. This usually ends up badly for the bear or the fools who let their dogs run loose.
And that doesn't take into consideration what a loose dog can do to the critters that are lower on the food change than a dog. Plus, in YNP there are a number of beasts that higher on the food chain than a dog, and who would make quick work of said pup.

Take your dog on a leash and hike around. The NPS has a lot of rules, but usually you can bring a dog anythere there is pavement. There are also plenty of dirt roads you can use to get off the pavement and run your dog for awhile without a leash.
