The regional city of Stara Zagora was the epicenter of a large-scale event dedicated to the relationships between teenagers and four-legged friends. Local authorities and non-governmental organizations joined forces for another edition of the specialized forum.

The initiative, organized by "Kuchilishte Stara Zagora" together with the Stara Zagora Municipality and the Regional Food Safety Directorate, offered a diverse and educational program. Visitors had the opportunity to participate in numerous attractive activities, including obedience competitions, interactive games, and a photography corner.

Representatives of the Thracian University presented the profession of a veterinarian, while simultaneously conducting free consultations for pet owners. In parallel, the Green Balkans Rescue Center demonstrated specialized equipment and mobile gear for working with animals.

A special focus of the program was on older dogs, for whom volunteers provided targeted advice on care, nutrition, and socialization. The organizers emphasized that such events aim to promote responsible attitudes towards animals.

The leadership of the initiative expressed ambition for the event to become a traditional platform for encouraging ethical animal husbandry and inter-species understanding through entertainment and education.
