In an end of summer occasion with a difference, owners were given the chance to book their dogs in for a dip.

Each dog had to have somebody aged 16+ to accompany it in the pool and lifeguards were on duty to keep an eye on the human swimmers. Each session was for 50 minutes with a range of measures put in place to ensure it was a fun occasion for all who took part.
