A NEW exhibition of dog portraits is set to open in Weston-super-Mare later this month. 

The SUPER DOGS exhibition will be at cultural space The Common Room on August 29 and will also give dog owners a chance to have their four-legged friends photograph. 

The photos on display are by Weston-based photographer Paul Blakemore and “playfully celebrate the unique bond between humans and their canine companions”. 

Ahead of the exhibition opening at 6pm, dog owners are invited to bring their four-legged friends down to The Common Room from 12pm until 4pm to be photographed by Paul in his “pawtraits” of dogs and their owners. 

These images will be compiled into an exclusive limited-edition ‘Spot the Dogzine’ - which will be available during the exhibition launch. 

“We love Dogs, we love Super Dogs. We love being the Weston super under Dogs,” Paul Blakemore said about his exhibition.  

The Common Room’s Instagram will provide details on how to secure a portrait slot for you and your dog.
