Fun at the dog walk fund-raiser

- Tamlyn Jolly

SATURDAY’S inaugural 3K9 dog parade, organised by Magic Moments, was a heap of fun for those who attended, but the adverse weather conditions led to a lower than expected turnout.

The Zululand Kayak Club served as the beginning and end of the 3km fun walk which traversed dirt roads and forest single tracks.

A doggy water table was stationed at the halfway mark, where the furry participan­ts enjoyed some water and nibbles.

Prizes were awarded to the cutest dog, the oldest dog, and dog bowl spot prizes were handed out randomly.

As the walk was a fund-raiser for Richards Bay-based animal NPOs, entrants had the option of bringing along their dog – or a friend’s dog – to join in.

From a 12-year-old sausage dog which ended up winning the prize for the oldest entry, to a pug in a tutu which won the ‘cutest dog’ prize, the dogs certainly had a good outing

The next 3K9 event is scheduled for 5 October.
