This print captures a moment of pure joy and entertainment at the annual Laing Gala Day in Greater London. The image showcases a crowd of enthusiastic onlookers gathered at the Laing Sports Ground, eagerly watching a woman with her talented performing dogs on pedestals. The atmosphere is electric as both young and old are captivated by the incredible display of dog obedience and tricks. The dogs stand proudly on their pedestals, showcasing their remarkable skills to an appreciative audience. Their trainer exudes confidence as she guides them through each impressive routine. This snapshot from August 1979 takes us back to a time when community events like this were cherished moments for families to come together and enjoy wholesome entertainment.
