For cat and dog lovers in Karachi, the cat and all-breed championship dog show, part of the DAWN Lifestyles Exhibition, was the place to be. Held on two separate days, November 8 and 9 respectively, the show included a variety of breeds brought in by pet owners such as Dalmatians, Labradors and Dobermans, to Persians and Siamese cats. The show was well-attended by pet enthusiasts, and eager children. – Photos by Tahir Jamal/White Star
