BURY'S dog wardens will be patrolling the town centre streets today (May 7) to promote National Pet Week.

The service has recruited the help of a host of organisations who rely on animals during their working life.

Police dogs and horses and search and rescue hounds will be there from 9am in Kay Gardens.

Balloons, free poop-scoops, and leaflets will be handed out by the dog wardens, who will also offer advice on responsible pet ownership, micro-chipping, and neutering.
