On August 23, 2025, NHARL had a booth at the first-ever Bark in the Park Festival held at Rollins Park in Concord, NH, where we encouraged dog lovers to have compassion for all animals — even those we’ve been taught to see as food.
Winner of the Ninja Blast!


Spin & learn About Farmed Animals
We invited eventgoers to test their knowledge of the animals on our plates by spinning the wheel and answering questions that revealed the capabilities of cows, pigs, chickens, lambs, fish, and lobsters.

After spinning the wheel, kids answered a question about the animal they landed on, using the sheets below. Click for a close-up.
1-Minute Heart-Tugging Video
To help visitors connect the meat on their plates to the animals it came from — animals who share all the wonderful qualities of dogs — we created this short video.
The reward for watching? An ice-cold can of our signature drink — RISE oat milk cold-brew coffee.
Vegan Dog Treats!
Dogs who stopped by to say hi were offered plant-based V-dog wigglebiscuits — a big hit!
merlin!
This is Merlin. He stopped by our tent to say hello. Merlin is looking for his forever home. If you’d like to meet him, we can hook you up. Drop us an email at info@nhanimalrights.org.
