The Healesville Rotary Club ‘Dogs Day Out’ was again a big hit for the local canine population on Sunday 18 March and despite the heat more than 200 people participated in the event.

Club community liaison manager, Ian Vine said that they believe the day will raise around $10,000 for distribution to local sporting clubs.

“Without our sponsors we couldn’t make this happen and soon we will write to clubs in the area inviting them to submit an application for a donation,” he said.

“This really is a dog’s day out and people are really doing it for their pooch. When you see people there it’s all about the dogs and the people, although they have a good time, are almost secondary,” he said.

The pictures from the day certainly point to the dogs there all having a great day out.

This was the fourth year of the event and Ian said “It’s is definitely on again next year.”
