HUNDREDS of dog walkers pounded the fields of Witton Park, Blackburn, for a charity’s canine-friendly event.
East Lancashire Hospice hosted its first Wags and Wellies sponsored walk on yesterday, with walkers receiving goody bags from sponsor Pets Choice.
Events fundraiser Denise Gee said: “We are a nation of dog lovers so it was bound to capture the imagination of many of our current supporters, as well as attracting new ones.”
Blackburn-based Pets Choice manufactures pet foods including Webbox and Davies Foods.
Pets Choice marketing manager Julie Butcher said: “This was an ideal opportunity for us to help promote pet health, while raising some vital funds for such a worthy cause.”
