Dog owners looking to enjoy the nice weather with their canines can head over to The Sustainable City in Dubai for a one-day animal welfare pop-up that's free to visitors.

The event will run on Saturday from 2pm to 7pm.

The programme includes activities and educational sessions for pet parents who are looking to learn more about their animals and how to take care for them.

There will also be vendors on hand.

Activities include a "fungility" game for dogs of all sizes to test their agility, a "hot cross fun" challenge that challenges owners to entrust other trainers with their dogs, and pet trivia.

There will also be a yoga class for dogs where they will stretch and learn how to sit and stay, if they aren’t experts on it already.

A dog-selfie booth will be on hand for creative photos.

The pop-up will also host a dog adoption area for those looking to add a new addition to the family.

Labour dispute

The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

The burning issue

The internal combustion engine is facing a watershed moment – major manufacturer Volvo is to stop producing petroleum-powered vehicles by 2021 and countries in Europe, including the UK, have vowed to ban their sale before 2040. The National takes a look at the story of one of the most successful technologies of the last 100 years and how it has impacted life in the UAE.
