It was tails up and leashes out on Sunday morning as nearly 100 dog lovers and their four-legged best friends gathered at Sugar Rush Park for the Tails and trails day, a charity walk supporting the SAFE Foster Network.

Hosted by Gym Dog Activewear, the event was all in aid of rescuing and rehoming abandoned animals.

The morning began at 6am with a gentle puppy yoga session, where early risers stretched beside playful pups. Spirits were high as the crowd later split for a 5km walk at 8.30am and a more relaxed 2km stroll at 9am.
