The Comerica Park in Detroit is hosting a baseball event with the Detroit Tigers called, "Bark in the Park", which takes place on August 23. Bark in the Park is an annual event.

The event allows dog owners to take their canine buddy to a ball game. They'll be sitting in a special section, "Pooch Pavilion", way out in left-field where you need binoculars to see anything. The thing is that you'll need to get a "Pooch Pass" to get your dog in, and they're only selling a 100 of these passes, instead of the 200 they sold last year.

To get one, you'll have to jump through some hoops.

First, the sponsors of the event will be holding a lottery to decide who gets the opportunity to buy a Pooch Pass. To enter the lottery, pick up a lottery form at Detroit area Pet Supplies "Plus" stores, on August 6, between 9am and Noon.

At 12:30 that day, the winners will be drawn at each store. You will not have to be present to win. Each store will have three Bark in the Park ticket packages, which includes one Pooch Pass, and four "human passes".

If you become a lottery winner, you will be required to purchase one 37.5-lb bag or larger of Purina Pro Plan Dog Food, in order to get a ticket package. Purina is one of the event's sponsors.

Is this starting to sound like a conspiracy? First they got you going to a pet supply store to enter the lottery, then they got you buying the sponsor's pet food, just so you can take your dog to the ballgame. And then they're gonna sit you some place where you can't even see what's going on.

However, money raised from the lottery does go to a worthy cause, the Michigan Animal Adoption Network.
