Dog lovers are being invited to take their pet pooches down to Merton Dog Watch annual park show.

The event on Saturday, May 12, in Morden Park, London Road, is organised by Mitcham resident Andy Butcher who is encouraging dog walkers to go along and voice community concerns and pick up useful information that helps make their local area cleaner and safer.

Attractions include a dog agility course, training advice and small assault course.

In the past the event has raised thousands of pounds for local charities. This year it will help raise funds for Serbia's Forgotten Paws among other charities.

It will run from 10am to 4pm and is supported by Merton Council and VetUK.
