We take them everywhere – hikes, road trips, even that one time to the grocery store when you swore they looked inconspicuous in that shopping cart (don't judge). So, naturally, you might be wondering if your canine BFF can join you on your next wild adventure – the Milwaukee County Zoo!
Well, buckle up, doggo, because here's the lowdown:
