We are deeply devoted to our dogs. When introducing dog ordinances, county offices saw a significant amount of public feedback. Whether an instituted dog tax is in place, we care enough about our companions to ensure they enjoy a long, happy life. This bond has remained unchanged since the earliest days of domesticating canines.

In this photo exhibition, we see their loyalty and unconditional love depicted across Montana. In our museum collection, photographs including our furry companions have increased. From family portraits to property photographs, these candid shots show our enduring bond and deep affection for our pets.

 

Thank you to our Community Sponsors for their support.

Today 27 indigenous tribes have ties to the area and resources now found within Yellowstone National Park. Explore the historical stories and contemporary connections that still make Yellowstone home.
