IT’S that time of year again, when your yard dogs take centre stage in our Perfect Pooch Gallery. It’s always the hardest decision of the year to choose just one winner from all of your divine dogs, but this year the team has plumped for Trish Markey’s all-weather quad-riding legend, Beattie. Keep an eye out on our socials over the next few days for a few more of your waggy-tailed yard stars!
