This month, we focus on the Poundbury pooches that are filling our Instagram feeds… P oundbury has become a mecca for dog walkers in recent years. With beautiful green spaces like The Great Field and Holmead Walk to enjoy, dog owners from the local community and beyond flock to the area for morning runs and afternoon strolls in the sun. Businesses are catching on too, with many places – including The Duchess of Cornwall Inn, Finca and The Poet Laureate – offering a dog friendly environment, where pets can get a drink, relax and even get treated to the odd dog biscuit whilst you enjoy your meal. Bonjour Café also welcomes doggy visitors, so much so that owner Emma Teasdale recently set up an Instagram account solely for her visiting pooches. @poundburypaws now has over 100 followers and features pictures of Emma’s own dachshund, Dougie, along with other four-legged friends that frequent the café. “It’s great that Poundbury’s getting more and more dog friendly. Especially for those of us who take our dogs everywhere. That’s why I set up Poundbury Paws, to show off the best pooches in Poundbury!” said Emma.
