DOG owners are being invited to give their pets a moment in the limelight at a popular Warwickshire park.
The Cafe in the Park at Coombe Abbey Country Park has installed a new Wall of Fame where dog lovers can leave pictures of their pooches for posterity.
The cafe’s operators, No Ordinary Hospitality Management, installed the Wall of Fame after the success of a similar photo wall at its Park Bistro in War Memorial Park in Coventry, where dozens of dogs have proudly posed for pictures.
Ryan Hobday, who manages the Cafe in the Park, said the wall would be a popular attraction – given the park was found to be the eighth best place to walk a dog in the UK in a study by Petsure.
He added: “People from Coventry, Warwickshire and much further afield love to come to Coombe to walk their dog – it’s one of the most popular places in the region for a stroll. So, it came as no real surprise to see the park on the top ten list for the whole of the UK.
“Dogs will have their photo taken on a digital camera and we’ll add the picture to the wall. It’s made a lovely talking point at the Park Bistro and we’re sure it will do exactly the same here.
“We can’t wait to see it start to take shape.”
The first pooch to feature is Cooper, a cavachon who lives in Coundon with Alex, Mark, Oscar and Ezra.
The photo – and a complementary doggy ice-cream – provided much-needed to cheer to the eight-year-old mutt, who recently had part of his tail removed after developing a growth.
