The one with four legs, of course.

In less than one week, the Seattle Mariners will welcome pooches to the stands in T-Mobile Park's first Bark at the Park event of the season.

The event kicks off Sunday, April 14 at 1:10 p.m. as the Mariners take on the Houston Astros.

To bring Fido, their human companions will need to buy a $50 "Dog Pack" ticket, which is good for the entry of one dog and one human. Additional human companions can purchase $25 tickets. Tickets must be purchased online before the event; no Bark at the Park tickets will be sold at the door.

Then, all good boys and girls can enjoy the game, complete with new sights, smells and treats, from the designated dog-friendly areas. A Mariners-themed fetch toy will be available as a giveaway.

After the game, pooches will be invited to walk the bases -- on leash, of course.

Dogs must be at least 6 months old to attend, and must be accompanied by an adult human. They must have a current vaccination for rabies and remain in designated Bark at the Park areas throughout the game.

Owners are encouraged to bring spray bottles to help keep their dog cool if needed.

If you can't make it on Sunday, more Bark at the Park events are set May 28, July 22 and Sept. 12. More information is available at this link. To get an idea of what happens at the event, click through the slideshow above.
