Dogs, dog-lovers and celebrities were rounded up on Saturday 7 Sept by Marc Abraham, aka Marc the TV Vet, for a light-hearted – some might say eccentric – dog-show on Primrose Hill. Categories including Prettiest Bitch and Most Stylish Pooch were judged and rosettes were awarded; spectators admired the dogs and shopped at the many stalls that were set up for the occasion.
However, there was a serious purpose to all of this canine fun. Marc is spear-heading the Pup Aid campaign to wipe out the barbaric practice of puppy farming. Find out more about it here: www.pupaid.org
And add your voice to the campaign by signing the e-petition here:

Fittingly, the rosette for Best in Show went to Zoe, a rescue breeding bitch.
Take a look at the photos to see who turned up to take part.
