FOUR legged friends and their owners were out in force to celebrate a special anniversary and help raise money for charity.

Happi Days dog day care centre at Bentwaters Parks, Rendlesham, near Woodbridge, hosted a 5th birthday party.

There were a variety of canine themed activities including musical mats, musical statues, pass the parcel, high jump and long jump.

There was also agility activities and a fun dog show which included a variety of classes, along with music from a local band in the afternoon.

As well as celebrating the day centre’s anniversary the event also raised around £1,000 for Suffolk Animal Rescue.

Owner Helen Brown said: “It was a fantastic turnout. The weather was very kind and everyone really enjoyed themselves.

“We raised around £1,000 and there is still more being counted, which is terrific.

“We were so pleased with the amount of people who came along.

“As well as our usual customers there were a lot of people who we hadn’t seen before, which was great.

“I’m delighted with the support and I’d like to thank everyone who came along and made it such a success.”
