That ice cream truck coming through the neighborhoods on July 4 is not meant for your kids.

It's for your dog.

The Best Friends Treat Truckwill be giving out free ice cream and cookies for dogs at Lake Forest and Lake Bluff dog parks on July 4.  There are also games, photo fun and other activities to enhance the human-canine bond.

The truck will be making the following stops:

• Prairie Wolf Park in Lake Forest, 1:30-2:30 p.m.
• Lake Forest Open Lands, 2:45-3:45 p.m.
• Sunrise Beach in Lake Bluff, 4:15-5:15 p.m.

Best Friends Pet Care, which has locations in Chicago and Prairie View, provides boarding, daycamp, grooming and training.

The truck, which began its tour in Boston in early June, has been visiting Chicagoland dog parks this week.
