Even dogs need to let their hair down every now and then.

And this weekend you can bring your canine companion on a doggy date while helping to raise some much needed cash for a brilliant cause.

DAWG (Cork Dog Action Welfare Group) and The Friary are putting together a day for dogs and their people to enjoy together from 3pm until 7pm on Saturday, February 3rd.

Anyone with a (friendly) doggo is invited to drop by the Shandon Street pub for food, music from Twitch Jnr and Devils Bit and a big raffle, all in the company of fellow dog owners and animal lovers.

The Friary crew will be serving vegan snacks on the day and there’ll be a hearty stew by Cool Beans simmering away too if you’re after something more substantial.

Cork DAWG rescue, treat and rehome more than 700 dogs every year, giving them a second chance at life so BYOD (Bring Your Own Dog!) to The Friary on Saturday to help them continue their incredible work.
