Dogs Trust visits Cork Summer Show 2015

Another exciting week has just passed for the Dogs Trust education team and, two weeks in a row, we’re heading down to Cork to see what our Cork Education Officer has been up to there! And what a week it’s been! Not only has Liadh been spreading the Dogs Trust responsible dog ownership message in West Cork schools but she also got the chance to do the same at the Cork Summer Show on the 20^th and 21^st of June. This show is the oldest agricultural show in Ireland and it was an honour to be asked along by Paul and Josie Barry and the entire team who’d organised all the super pet dog shows that were run during the event. Liadh met about 250 dogs AND all their owners at the show and not only was everyone thrilled to see Dogs Trust taking part – they were doubly thrilled to hear that Dogs Trust will have it’s very own Cork venue in the not too distant future!! Although we have to find a venue first – so if you know of anywhere that might suit give us a ring! Exciting times ahead which means LOTS more blogs from the South and South West Munster region over the coming months.

 

Fun in the sun at the show :)!

But for now Liadh would like to congratulate all the wonderful dogs who took part in the shows over the two days in a range of nine categories from ‘best puppy’ to ‘the dog the judges would most like to take home’! And remember, every dog was a winner because, quite simply – every dog is!
