Sunday morning saw Bob and I up early to take our dog Chelsea to the RSPCA Millions Paws Walk on the Esplanade in Cairns. There were hundreds of people, dogs, a couple of pets rats and even two ponies!
Event manager Lyn Waters said about 800 people and a similar number of animals joined this year’s walk, which started near Muddies Playground and headed north along The Esplanade.
The RSPCA hopes to have raised more than $11500 from the event.
There were big dogs and little dogs, there were dogs wearing superman outfits and dogs dressed as fairies. There was a black poodle named ‘Naomi’ and lots of border collies named Jess! There was a little black Labrador puppy with angel wings and a grumpy old basset hound!
We met out friends Mike and Fiz and their energetic Coolie dog, Milly, for the stroll to the northern end of the esplanade and back. Thanks to Mike for the photo of Chelsea and I below!
