Every year in Australia the RSPCA holds the Million Paws Walk to raise much needed funds for the great work they do. Today’s photo was taken at last year’s walk in Canberra. It is such a fantastic day and I’m sure the thousands of dogs who attend with their people know to be on their best behaviour that day. All the old rules of personal space seem to go out the window and you can have dogs of all shapes and sizes crammed into a small area without any fights. This year, the Million Paws Walk is on 18 May 08. I’ll be sorry to miss it, but surely there is an equivalent here in the USA.

I have a feeling that this beautiful dog is a Border Collie, but I can’t be sure. Does anyone know?
