The whole trip was amazing. The dogs are clearly loved and well cared for, and were very keen to go for a run. We were out with them for about an hour and then got to play with the dogs and puppies afterwards. The tea and chocolate cake was very welcome too! A beautiful, memorable experience. Thank you
