Why You Should Visit
ABC TV is holding its first event for dogs and their owners at WHATAWON, a pet-friendly mall in Kishiwada. Over the three-day holiday weekend there are stage talks, a dog fashion contest, a market with pet goods and handmade crafts, food trucks and festival-style games. You can watch, shop and eat with your dog at your side the whole time, so it suits families looking for a full day out with the dog.
