Dogs of all shapes and sizes visited Foxearth Lodge in Saxtead for the annual dog show, to the delight of residents and visitors.

Foxearth Lodge Home Manager Roxanne Cutajar said, “We were delighted to have dogs at the home and our thanks to everyone who supported the event – it is a favourite with the residents. Our thanks particularly to Mr Purves for taking the time to judge the show for us.”
