Overall, the sight of happy dogs strolling (or often being carried) back to their cars at the end of another Goodwoof day, together with the money raised for charity and a wonderfully enjoyable dog-centred day, with something for everyone included, made sure that visitors – both two and four-legged, had enjoyed a Goodwoof to remember.
