Cooktown’s dogs were the bestest boys and girls when the Cooktown Horse Sports Association hosted a hound show on 22 June.
The event gave four-legged residents an opportunity to take part in the 2025 Cooktown Discovery Festival with a range of categories open to junior and senior pet owners.
Association president Sarah Frew said the annual competition continued to get stronger and stronger.
“It was a fun morning,” she said.
“Each year gets better and better; we had 39 entries, which was great to see.
“We appreciate everyone who made the effort to come down and compete or just spectate.”
