Dogs on Patrol at the Dog Lovers show was a hit

We had a great time at the recent Dog Lovers Show at the Royal Convention Centre in Brisbane with our Dogs on Patrol display.

Police, Community Supporting Police volunteers, Neighbourhood Watch Queensland Stafford members and Volunteers in Policing were all on hand to speak with the 12,000+ visitors that attended the show over both days to learn more about Dog on Patrol.
Visitors to our stand learned how to continue keeping their own neighbourhoods staying safe all whilst walking their dog in their own neighbourhood.
We also got to meet Aussie Dog Guy – Ryan Anderson – the biggest dog lover and rescue dog advocate which was very exciting for the Dogs on Patrol team.
We had a great weekend at the first ever Brisbane Dog Lovers show and hope to attend next year for the return of Dog Lovers Show to Brisbane in 2018.
