Lancashire park hosts dog show
Dog lovers put pets through their paces at an annual outdoor show in Lancashire.
Animal owners turned out in their dozens for the Ruffs dog show in Ashton Park, Preston, on Saturday.
Despite damp weather families enjoyed watching around 20 pet pooches race across a maze of tunnels, seesaws and other obstacles in displays organised by Preston Agility Dogs (Pads).
The club's Bill Hodgson said: "The display was just for fun, not for prizes, but it's something the dogs really enjoy.
"The weather's not been good but isn't as bad as last year when it was throwing it down!"
The event, organised by Friends of Ashton Park, also featured stalls selling dog accessories and a free chipping service.
Prizes were given in 10 categories, including waggiest tail and ugliest mutt.
