Clouds weighted down with the threat of rain could not stop men and mutts from running the obstacle course at The Animal Guardian’s (TAG) ‘Ruff’ It Run, on September 28.
Splashed with colour, supporters of the animal welfare organisation descended on a plot in Eighth Avenue, Van Ryn SH, to enjoy a ‘yapping’ good time with their furry friends, while raising funds for the organisation’s ongoing kennel upgrades.

Jumping through hoops, ascending ramps and leopard crawling through tyres ensured that the day barked up excitement, resulting in zoomies all round.
