Whiteley Shopping Centre's recent dog event collected over £780 for The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
Hundreds of dogs participated in agility trials and contests, with the most popular contests including 'Waggiest Tail,' 'Loveliest Lady,' and 'Cutest Puppy,' with a total of 80 entries across 12 categories.
At the event, 45 pups were awarded treats and mini rosettes. A local artist captured over 50 paw prints and drew 48 caricatures.
There were also stalls offering homemade treats and behavioral training tips.
David Wilson Homes gave out free drinks at their stall, distributing 130 teas and coffees as well as 170 Puppuccinos.
Mia Gordon, centre manager at Whitely, said: "For the second year running our doggie day event has been a massive success, welcoming 100s of much-loved pets whilst raising money for The Guide Dogs for the Blind. We’re delighted the local community love it just as much as we do!"
