Canine carnivale in Clarence

The 17th annual Dogs’ Day Out was held on Sunday 10 November at Simmons Park in Lindisfarne where crowds of fluffy friends, and their families, enjoyed a day jam-packed with fun activities, competitions, stalls and more.

This year, the Clarence City Council welcomed back Dogs’ Day Out AmbassaDog Nala, from the Dogs Homes of Tasmania, who completed several important duties including honorary judging and treat testing, as well as representing the Dogs’ Homes of Tasmania, which has been supporting and re-homing Tasmanian dogs in need for nearly 75 years.

The skills of the Clarence canines were on full display across multiple events including the popular Dachshund Dash, Best-Dog-On-Day, Best Dress Up, Coolest Trick, Longest Sit and Waggiest Tail.

Clarence Mayor Brendan Blomeley said the event was a huge success.

“It was an absolute joy to see so many members of our dog-loving community, both human and canine, at this year’s Dogs’ Day Out,” he said.

“On behalf of Clarence City Council, I want to extend my congratulations to all the well-deserving dogs who were crowned winners on the day.

“We had an amazing number of participants and thank you to everyone who took part.”
