Dogs and owners mingled, with the opportunity for coffee and an egg and bacon sandwich, a chat with local vets or some grooming (for the dogs) prior to the walk.

While a lot of local people attended Sue and Geoff Gibson and Ernie, travelled from Albury to enjoy a long weekend at Merimbula.

“Albury isn’t doing a Million Paws Walk this year and we couldn’t miss it so we decided to come to Merimbula instead,” Sue said.
