There was also a dog training demonstration for pet owners to learn from.
Pets could cool off from the sun in the dog paddling pool or try their paws at an art class using their prints.

And there was plenty for visitors to buy or try at several independent stalls, a puppacino stand and a dog bakery.
Broken Souls Rescue, which organises the event each year, works with similar organisations across the UK to save the lives of unwanted pets who have been refused by other larger rescues.
The charity does not have a kennel and works solely through foster homes and third-party emergency boarding centres.
