Tail-wagging good time at Dog day out

IPSWICH Dog Day returned to celebrate dogs and the residents who love them, on Saturday.

Cr Pye Augustine said the day was now a firm favourite for residents and their four-legged friends.

“Starting in 2022 as Dogfest, it has quickly become a popular event on the city’s calendar,” she said.

Dog Day helps people connect with local dog-related businesses and, this year, well-known TV presenter Lara Shannon hosted as MC.

The event saw the crowning of Ipswich Dog of the Day Ginger.

A paint and paws stall allowed owners to receive a free print of a handprint alongside their hound’s paw print.
