This week Anna goes to the very first PAAWstival: a festival where Pets Are Always Welcome.The event was held at the uber dog friendly Happenstance bar and restaurant owned by Drake & Morgan.  Not only hosting the biggest Charity dog show, Anna takes the opportunity to meet up with old friends and new. She talks to Alistair Mullens of This Is Vertus -  the key sponsor of the event - whose new pet friendly apartment blocks are flying in the face of discriminatory landlords.She also catches up with some of the judges, Nikki Tibbles, Founder of the Wild at Heart Foundation and host of Pod People Productions' Dog Bless You; Musician and Actor, Collette Cooper; and Photographer, Joseph Sinclair. Aside from various stalls and exhibits, the main event was the picking a winner of the seven finalists in different categories. In the end, there was a three way tie and Anna gets the reaction of the  joint winners Teresa Keown and Belhina, Joe Hepburn with ex racing greyhound, Rudy, and Adam Jarrell with Dexter, and of course PAAW House founder and organiser of Paawstival, Gabby Kuehn.For more information:Website:  Paawhouse Instagram: @PAAWstival @PAAWhouseTwitter: @PAAW_House Facebook: Paaw HouseFor more about Anna go to annawebb.co.ukMusic and production by Mike Hanson for Pod People ProductionsCover art by JaijoCover photo by Rhain Ap Gruffydd at Gruff PawtraitsTo advertise on or sponsor A Dog's Life email: [email protected]
