Big dogs, small dogs and every dog in between trotted down to the South Perth foreshore for the event to raise funds for the animal care organisation. Last year the event attracted 10,000 people from across the city, however, RSPCA spokesman Tim Maine said he thought they had cracked that this year. "We're extremely happy - the weather gods have shined on us and there's just a massive, massive turn out," he said. It's like our Christmas day when people all come out and say thank you and show their support which we rely on to keep doing what we do. Money raised in the walks across the country go to the organisation's vet services, re-homing programs, education programs, pet comfort and money is used to fight animal cruelty. One $20 registration gives a homeless animal a bed for the night. Chris and Katie Parkins have brought their dalmatian Tilly to the event for about six years. The Rockingham pair said they loved the event, which gave them a good chance to socialise their dog and raise money for a worthy cause. "We got a dog from the pound a few years back and then we decided to start coming down," Katie said. It's good to raise a bit of money and socialise the dog with others. Plus you get to see all the different dog breeds. The RSPCA hope to raise $475,000 nation-wide, with WAs target set at $85,000. At 11am today they were well on their way to achieving that target, having raised more than $68,000.
