Last Sunday, 16th August, the Education Team ran a fantastic Doggy Detectives event in our rehoming centre in Finglas. We were so excited about this event as we had added some new and exciting activities which we were just dying to see being carried out!
Ready for our Doggy Detectives!
Well, our little super sleuths didn't disappoint. We had about 30 people come along for the afternoon, and they all got a fantastic tour of the centre to start off our detective themed fun! On their tour our inspectors had to hunt out clues to find the answers to some responsible dog owner questions. They also had to keep their eyes peeled for some specific things around the centre, the most exciting of which started with 'P' and ended with 'uppies' .... they were even lucky enough to not just see some of our puppies, but to meet one too!
Getting ready for a behind the scenes tour...
After the excitement of the tour and a recap of the clues they found, it was time to move onto the investigations. In groups, our little detectives found out about some of a dogs senses- sight, hearing and smell. Each group got to carry out a little experiment to compare dogs senses to human senses and then they had to use what they found out to design a dog toy! We had some amazing designs and everyone got a little prize at the end, with our top 5 designs getting extra special prizes!
We had such a great afternoon, so a big thanks to our Doggy Detectives! Roll on next year!
