The Harare SPCA regularly holds a Fun Show and Dog Walk at Mukuvisi Woodland and Nature Reserve. Yesterday lots of dogs (and owners) were on show. There were a few dogs with Adopt Me Please bibs on. If you are able to give one of them a loving and happy home please go down to Harare SPCA today!

Because when something happens, she’s the person I want to tell. The most basic indicator of love.
