THE Tailwagger’s Walk on Sunday at NATA Oval was a hit among the punters and the pooches. Hosted by the Eurobodalla Branch of the Animal Welfare League NSW the crew put on a splendid day of fun and competitions.
The day began with the usual walk to the Mill Bay Boardwalk followed by a show of obedience and agility.
There were plenty of competition categories including ‘The X Factor’ which gave everyone a chance to show off their hound.
With hilarious games like the potato and spoon race, musical plates and the waiters race the mood was kept lively into the afternoon.
