Laughing Dog, of Old Leake, is hoping to raise £5,000 for Guide Dogs by the end of the year (it has already surpassed £2,000).

Julie Green, who helped organise the walk with colleague Janette Leggate, said despite the typically British weather, the walk was a success.

“Laughing Dog is part of the Fold Hill family; it was great to see staff and their dogs get involved,” she said. “Thank you for the Sustran’s charity for allowing us to use their footbath and The Malcolm Arms for letting us put on Guide Dog activities at the pub – and for warming us up with refreshments!”
