The Wangaratta Kennel & Obedience Dog Club conducted its monthly 'Happy Dogs Walk' along the Ovens River pathway to Northern Beaches.

Eleven dogs and owners participated in the walk and several other dogs and owners joined in along the way.

Some dogs even enjoyed a swim and a roll in the sand.

A rare sighting of what we think was a Great Cormorant sunning itself on a dead tree branch in the river was a highlight.

The club invites all of our 'Happy Dog Walkers' to join with the members for a Christmas breakup at the club grounds on Wednesday, 10 December from 5.30pm onwards for dog games, club presentations and a barbecue tea.

The next Happy Dogs Walk will be on Sunday, 14 December, meeting at the Murdoch Road Store (Clydes) for a walk along the One Mile Creek.
