Competition: Out of the dog house and mingling with the community.
ON December 6, the Shire of Northam hosted its free Dogs Day Out community event.
Dog owners were encouraged to bring their pets along and enter into a variety of competitions including cutest dog, best personality and owner lookalike.
Acacia men's prison donated two large dog houses which had been hand crafted by the prisoners especially for the event.
Twenty dollar micro-chipping was offered by a local vet and the Shire senior ranger was on hand to answer any pet related questions.
