It was a truly tail-wagging day out at Temple Newsam today as hundreds of four-legged friends and their owners took over the stunning estate for a brilliant cause.
The grounds were packed for the annual Paws in the Park Summer Fun Day & Dog Show, hosted in partnership with Leeds City College to raise vital funds with the RSPCA Leeds, Wakefield and District branch.
From prize-winning pooches competing from 11am to family fun on the lawns right in front of the house, the atmosphere was fantastic all afternoon.
Our photographer was on hand to capture the absolute best moments, proud owners, and cutest contenders from the event.
