Derks Pet and Rural owner Joan Derks said she was overwhelmed by how many people turned up to support the field day and meet Dr Harry.

``There was a constant flow of people all day and he didn't stop for a break or for lunch because there were so many people waiting to see him,'' she said.

``He's such a beautiful man and spoke very highly of our business and the community.''

More than $2500 was raised for Rotary and $2290 was raised for Lakesland RFS.

Mrs Derks said they also found six homes for homeless pets on the day.

``The atmosphere was fantastic and it was a huge success considering we only had nine weeks to put the day together,'' she said.

``Everyone had their questions answered and were happy and laughing, which is what it's all about.

``Words can't say enough for the people who support me and this community.

``I'd love to keep the field days going.''
