This is an easy graded walk with a difference wherein the lives of all dogs are acknowledged and celebrated, but particularly those four-legged carers who have helped their owners through their human cancer journey.
Dogs – of all breeds, sizes and ages – understand the emotions of their owners throughout this difficult time: the time to give a sloppy ‘kiss’, the time to be quiet at their owner’s feet, the time to ‘suggest’ a walk as part of a well-being regime, the time to put their head on their owner’s lap to encourage and support them through a tiring and sometimes challenging day.
There will be something for all ages at Bark For Life this year with a Best Dressed Dog competition, Live entertainment, the Passport Challenge, Dougal the Cancer Council Victoria mascot, Body Attack workouts for owners and their dogs, the Tribute Tree.
