The pooches of Melbourne will be on parade at a brand new festival for our furriest of friends. This Sunday, May 29, Barkly Square in Brunswick will play host to the first ever Barkly Barks Dog Festival, complete with doggie day spa, professional trainers and more.
The festival will cater to dogs of all shapes and sizes, with tons of activities for participants on both two legs and four. You can run your pet through the Agility Training Course or book a professional photoshoot with the members of the 'pupparazzi'. But the main event is the Dog Parade, where gongs will be given out in a whole range of categories, including Most Obedient, Best Costume and Dog and Owner Look-Alike. Not sure we'd want to win that one, even if there are prizes up for grabs.
