FROM pedigree pooches to marvellous mongrels, dog owners are being asked to register their pets in a unique charity dog show on May 7 in a bid to be crowned Wanstead's top dog.

The Parish of Wanstead Village Dog Show will hold categories that any dog can stand a chance of winning from professional classes to novelty ones.

Money raised from the event will go towards helping Wanstead's Christ Church be restored to its former glory.

The afternoon kicks off at 2pm in the gardens of Christ Church in Wanstead Place and visitors will be treated to a BBQ, face painting and a Pimms Tent.

Entry is free, but it will cost £2 to enter a dog into a category.

For more information call 07956 572158 or email wansteadvillagedogshow@gmail.com.
