Poll: Have you come across Kirsty and her camera at the dog park?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

For two decades, Kirsty Lyall has been snapping shots of other people’s dogs - all for the love of a lick and a pat.

The 54-year-old and her trusty Pentax camera are often found at Hamilton’s Days Park on Saturdays, capturing pooches racing up and down from the beach and burning off some energy.
