From local writer and dog owner Deb Bridges
We've been lucky enough to share some fantastic dog walks with local walking enthusiast and writer Deb Bridges and her dog Ula. Deb shares our passion for exploring the countryside whilst protecting and enjoying wildlife. Some of our members have helped to check routes for the book and have had their own photographs included too. The winners received their prizes during our birthday Waggy Walk! We have 5 copies of Deb's latest book "Dog Walks East and Mid Devon" to give away. To enter we would like you to tell us about your favourite dog walk and send us a photo too. For full details and how to enter check out our website. Good luck! If you're not lucky enough to win, you can still claim a 10% discount on a copy of the book up until the end of January 2023. Full details on our website.

 Autumn Wildlife Spectacle
Autumn is an exciting time all across the Exe Estuary. As well as being popular with dog walkers enjoying the change in seasons it's also busy with thousands of birds that migrate here for the winter. Find out where you can spot these birds and how you can help protect them when you're out and about with your dog.

 Birthday Waggy Walk
I can't quite believe that it's 5 years since we launched Devon Loves Dogs! To celebrate we held a special Waggy Walk on Mutters Moor near Sidmouth. The sun shone, the dogs had a great time and we all had a stop off at the gazebo to share some cake - it wouldn't be a birthday otherwise! Read more about what we've achieved in those five years on our website.

We've enjoyed a fantastic selection of Waggy Walks over the summer! We have lots more planned for autumn and winter. Walks are FREE and last up to an hour and a half with plenty of time for off lead fun, sniffing and chatting. We're joined by a member of the site team so we can find out more about where we're walking.
