ANIMAL lovers descended on a farm in Farmoor, near Oxford, for an inaugural dog show in aid of disabled sailors.

Pets of all shapes and sizes took part in dozens of fun events.

There was terrier racing, obstacle courses, and prizes for the dog with the biggest smile, the dog with the waggiest tail, the dog who looked most like their owner, and the most obedient and disobedient dogs.

The show was held at Denman's Farm on Saturday.

Organiser Pam Gee said: “We had an obstacle course which if the dog didn’t do, the owner had to.

“It was fun. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

“I don’t know if we are going to do it again, but everyone said they would come again if we did.”

The event raised £418.35 for a project to send three boats and six disabled sailors to take part in an annual yachting competition on Lake Malawi in Africa.
