One of the reasons why I love my former uni was for its huge green campus. Its is something unique to the campus and envy of other campuses :P.
Having a huge campus always have its advantages and disadvantages. Disadvantage - you may kill yourself trying to walk from one end to another end. Advantage - less crowded, space for more activities to be done etc. Dogathon is one such activity which is held annually - an event not to be missed by any dog-lover. My friends and I joined for this year's Dogathon, having missed the earlier ones. This year, UPM break the record by having the most number of dogs (>600) registered for the event! Impressive!!
Some photos to share...
Dogathon is an annual event organized by the Faculty of Veterinary, UPM. This is the first stop for the dogs where they are examined and given tags before proceeding to the registration counter.
I always have this thing for Huskies, descendants of the wolves. They never fail to mesmerize me with their bright blue eyes.
Such a poser...
I am sure this one is owned by a Chinese girl! :-P
Sheep-dog? Looks different..
This guy was huge and look at the girl, doesn't she looks sacred?
Pet-grooming service was also available and they seems to be very happy doing it (actually they started giggling when I tried taking their photo).
Maze - one of the games they organized for the dogs and owners.
Forgot the name of the games but so many of them participated in this event. Reminds me of sukaneka back in primary school. Hehehehe..
Dog Idol - something like a beauty pageant but in addition to the parade, the dogs are also required to perform tricks.
Video of the day:
Amber, the Golden Retriever was so talented!!

I love huge campuses too. I work in one right now. It feels great to be STAFF (for a change)and have a parking spot right next to the building as opposed to walking one end to another, huffing and puffing! :)
Nice pictures!
600 dogs at a place is great, lovely pictures dear. Huskies super.
