A ‘MUTTLEY’ crew of dogs will have the chance to strut their stuff when a popular dog show returns to Richardson Dees Park.
Organised by the Friends of Wallsend Park, with support from North Tyneside Council, the annual Dog Oscars takes place on Saturday 26 August and is open to dogs of all shapes and sizes.
Categories include ‘new kid on the block’ and ‘looks most like owner’ as well as a special category for ‘disadvantaged dogs’ for pets that have a disability or have been re-homed.
Each winner will receive a certificate and rosette, and there will be a special prize for the overall winner.
Simon Dean, of the Friends of Wallsend Parks, said: "This fantastic event is now in its seventh year, and growing more popular every time. I’d encourage anyone to come along, whether they are entering their dog or just joining in with the fun. It's set to be a fantastic day."
Owners can register their dogs on the day or in advance via Facebook or by emailling fowp@hotmail.co.uk with your name, your dog's name, age, breed, gender and the categories you'd like to be registered in.
The event takes place near the bowling green area, on the large field by the main entrance, between 12.30pm and 3pm. Entry costs £2 per category and all funds will go to support The Friends of Wallsend Parks.
