Here
at the Kiosk we love meeting all of the friendly dogs who come to the
park with their owners. Sometimes the owners are walking the dogs,
sometimes it is more the owner who is being taken for a run, but
we're always very happy to see them, and we've always got a dog biscuit to hand and a thirst quenching bowl of water. We have decided to celebrate
the Russell Park dog contingent by launching our very own version of
Crufts, right here in Russell Park: Canines
at the Kiosk!
It is a dog photograph competition for all the hounds who hang out in
the park, with six categories, including:
- Top Dog
- Lookalike
- Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
- Puppy Power
- Man's Best Friend
- In the Dog House
In
addition to these there will also be an overall winner of Best
in Show
– judged by a panel of distinguished local personalities - the
winner of which will receive the magnificent prize of a Professional
Pooch Portrait! Winners of all categories will be awarded doggy bags
and have their photos displayed at the Kiosk throughout March and
April. Just like the status that goes with being a Crufts winner,
your dog will also have the not-to-be-sniffed-at honour of being an
official Canines at the Kiosk Top Dog.
Perhaps
you and your doggy pal live up to the cliché that dogs and their
owners look alike, or maybe your puppy performs a series of daft but
incredible squirrel-chasing feats? Or is your dog one of those who
picks a peculiar spot to get his 40 winks? Get snapping those top
dog moments and send them in. All categories are open to your
interpretation, so be creative and see what ideas you, your
imagination and your four-legged friend can come up with.
