Day of wild west fun at Pug Rescue

Pugs were in heaven and animal lovers in the wild old west when Pug Rescue South Africa organised a fund-raiser recently.

Pug Rescue South Africa recently combined fun and fund-raising by hosting a wild west day at its premises in Benoni North Agricultural Holdings. Gill Hurford (left), Uschi Meyerson and Andrea Poulter organised the event. They are seen with Pickle (seven years old), a dwarf pug.

The Pug Rescue Wild Wild West fund-raiser was attended by several dozen supporters, who were entertained by musician Nico Potgieter, an old west photo booth, a mechanical bull and the dogs themselves.
