It was a red letter day for dozens of dogs who took the lead and brought their owners along to the annual Bark in the Park in Cambuslang.
Over 80 dogs accompanied by their owners and families attended the event on Sunday, October 6, that is organised by Project 31 and Friends of Cambuslang Park.
The yearly event is always a day to remember in the Cambuslang calendar and Project 31 provided plenty of children’s art and crafts activities and a children’s treasure hunt, while Friends of Cambuslang Park ran a stall with lots of fabulous sweet treats.
There were a range of other exciting stalls including the Avenues Vets who also ran a tombola and also present was Sweet P shop from Burnside.
The main attraction of the day was the dog show arena where a huge variety of dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes competed to take home a doggy prize, certificate and rosette!
