After the walk, many of the dogs went to cool themselves off in the stream at the cafe while others found a shady spot to have a nap.

After a small break for both the pets and their owners, competitions for the happiest dog and the best trick took place.

All the proceeds from the day went to the Nelspruit SPCA.

A committee member, Anmari Jones, said a total of R6 615 was raised. "We received over 90kg of pet food, which we are very grateful for. Everyone had a good time, including all the dogs. We want to thank everyone who came out to support the cause. We especially want to thank Absolute Pets for organising the fundraiser for us.”
