Pack Leaders & Pawsome Updates: The Competition Just Got Real! 🐕‍🦺

Breaking news from the Park Buddies HQ: Your local dog park just became WAY more competitive (in the best possible way)!

We've unleashed two tail-waggingly awesome features that'll make you want to howl with excitement:

🏆 The Ultimate Alpha Dog Leaderboards

Ever wondered who the real pack leader is at your favorite dog parks? Wonder no more! We've introduced six epic leaderboard categories that celebrate every type of park warrior:

🥇 Alpha Adventurer

Most park check-ins overall
For those humans who treat dog parks like their second home (and honestly, we respect that dedication).

🥈 Trail Blazer

Most unique parks visited
The explorers, the wanderers, the "let's try that new park 3 cities away" type of humans. You know who you are!

🥉 Community Builder

Met the most fellow dog owners
The social butterflies who somehow know every dog's name, birthday, and favorite treat within a 5-mile radius.

🎯 Endurance Champion

Longest total time at parks
For those who believe "just 5 more minutes" actually means "just 5 more hours." Your dog approves.

Gold, silver, and bronze badges await! Each category showcases the top 3 pack leaders with gorgeous gradient cards that'll make your achievements shine brighter than a freshly groomed Golden Retriever.
