Near the historic Tour Royale monument, dog owners and enthusiasts gathered on Saturday, October 3rd, for the Dog Day. Organized by the City of Toulon as part of the National Dog Week, this edition was held at the new Pipady dog beach, a secure location for the animals.
Throughout the day, approximately 1,800 visitors attended a varied program. Demonstrations of sea rescue by Newfoundlands, workshops on first aid for sick or injured animals, and dog training sessions, particularly on leash walking, were very popular.
Various organizations, including the Société Protectrice des Animaux (SPA), the Fondation Assistance aux Animaux, and the association Chien Guide d’Aveugles du Var, set up information stands to raise awareness about combating abandonment and promoting civic responsibility.
This 4th edition reaffirms Toulon's commitment to harmoniously integrating animals into city life.
