Zion National Park pet rules
These rules look pretty clear cut! Strange how people that own dogs do not think the rules apply to "their" dog because it is so "special"!
We went to a Christmas Concert Saturday at our community center and the people that sat next to me bought their lap dog, stating is was their special child together as they did not have any children born to the two of them!!
Read the rules and follow them. If not following them I hope people get fined as spelled out in the rules. These parks have been set aside for the people of the country and other visitors to enjoy! Please respect that!

I agree with you, Chris. We've been campground hosts in a couple of national parks and occasionally have had to call rangers to deal with folks who, for some reason, thought the rules didn't apply to them (or, perhaps, were "made to be bent"). In addition to the fine, flagrant violators can be given a "mandatory appearance" citation, which requires them to appear in person before a federal magistrate, often a costly inconvenience.
