It was a paw-fect day on the Sea Point Promenade yesterday, Sunday April 13 as humans and their furry friends strutted their stuff at the seventh annual Paws on the Promenade fund-raiser. 

The walk was hosted to raise funds for the Mdzananda Animal Clinic, an NPO in Khayelitsha, which serves up to 1500 animals a month through consultations, hospitalisation, general and orthopaedic surgeries, continuous sterilisations, mobile clinics, an animal ambulance and homeless pet shelter.

After the walk, the dogs and their humans enjoyed a rest spot with some activities at the Mouille Point lighthouse, while some of the dressed-up dogs posed for the pup-arazzi.
