ST. LOUIS The Gateway Arch is the most iconic spot in St. Louis, and they are looking for an iconic dog to highlight how pet-friendly the Arch grounds are.
The Arch and Purina are teaming up for a photo contest looking for the monument s first B.A.R.K. Ranger. They are asking people to submit a photo of their pup and what makes the dog iconic.
Organizers will pick five finalists and the winner will be chosen by a fan vote. The winner will receive a prize pack filled with Arch and Purina-themed goodies and will serve as the official B.A.R.K. Ranger for one year. The winner will also be invited to preside at B.A.R.K. Ranger events throughout the year.
