Dogs Victoria would like to thank our members, community and special guests who attended our second annual ANZAC Day Dawn Service at KCC Park, Skye on Saturday.

We were honoured to have Vietnam Veteran and Frankston RSL Navy Welfare Officer Mark Kinder as MC, and Dogs Victoria member and former Royal Australian Navy Able Seaman Trevor Pillinger as flag orderly and guest speaker.

Thank you also to the representatives from local MPs’ offices, the Therapy Dogs Committee, Rottweiler Club of Victoria, German Shepherd Dog Club of Victoria - Skye Branch, Dogs for Life - previously CSTDA and the veterans who attended with their dogs.

It was a meaningful morning bringing our community together to reflect on the sacrifices of our ANZACs and honour those who have served. Lest we forget.

Dalmatian 🐾
Dalmatians are perfect as a companion, a watchdog for family and a marvellous pet, but as they are strong and very active, they need to be kept under control.
The coat of the Dalmatian is white with either black or liver spots. They are born pure white and the spots start to develop at around 7 days.

Did you know?
As people all have different fingerprints, all Dalmatians have a unique pattern of spots.
