Waddesdon Manor hosts huge charity dog walk

Waddesdon Manor has played host to annual charity dog walk that raised over £10,000 across the UK for a selection of animal rescue charities.

Last weekend hundreds of dogs, and their humans, walked the 4km around the Buckinghamshire National Trust site for the benefit of causes such as Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary and Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

Similar events occurred elsewhere in the UK and throughout Europe sponsored by Agria Pet Insurance.

Across Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and the UK more than 18,500 dogs took part, raising just over £37,000 in total.

At Waddesdon, the day was packed with entertainment for the whole family, a rock choir, bubble artist and face painters. Attendees also learnt how Hearing Dogs For Deaf People make such a difference to the deaf community with a live demonstration.

Darcy Power from Hearing Dogs for Deaf People said: “We had so much fun and it was all for such a good cause! The money raised at the Agria Dog Walk will allow us to train more life-changing hearing dogs who help deaf children and adults to leave loneliness behind and reconnect with life.”

And here are some of our favourite pooches from the day…
