Bentley goes to the dogs

Drivers got behind the wheel of a Bentley Bentayga to help herd flocks of sheep during a special event in the UK to celebrate dogs.

Goodwoof welcomed thousands of canine enthusiasts and their companions when it was held at the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex on May 18 and 19.

While the venue may be better known among automotive fans for its world-famous Festival of Speed, the vehicles at Goodwoof took things at a more sedate pace.

One highlight this year was the return of Bentayga sheep herding, with drivers’ attempts to round up lambs, ewes and rams proving to be one of the most popular activities. Check out the video below to see someone giving it a go at the 2023 event.

A Bentley vehicle led hundreds of dogs around a 1km track for the breed meets, where animals could meet up with similar four-legged friends. 

The luxury marque also used one of its vehicles as a photobooth for dogs, with the rear of the car fitted out with pet accessories. More than 6,000 photos were snapped over the weekend with funds raised going to Jai Dog Rescue, a charity based in Thailand.
