A charity is offering dog lovers across Glasgow and West Scotland the opportunity to have their pup crowned its next ambassador.
The Beatson Cancer Charity is calling on Scots to join its fundraising walk where dogs will be in with a chance of becoming the next official Beatson ‘Ambassadog’.
The PAW Walk aims to raise funds for Scotland’s leading cancer research centre while looking for a replacement for their current Ambassadog, Comet.
Entry to the walk is £10 and includes a doggie bag filled with goodies such as a branded bandana for pups and Beatson T-Shirt for humans.
Charlene Low, corporate partnership fundraiser said: “Since we had to cancel many of our events due to the pandemic, we wanted to find a fun way to fundraise whilst respecting the social distancing arrangements.
“Daily walks with my Beagle, Ditsy, has been hugely beneficial for me during lockdown and I know many of our patients feel the same especially during treatment.

“We are all thrilled with our new dog tartan items so we think the Paw Walk is the perfect event and will be very popular raising much needed funds for our charity.
“Our supporters go above and beyond for us – can't wait to see the photos of them out and about in yellow.”
Martin Cawley, CEO of the Beatson Cancer Charity, added: “Last year’s Paw Walk was a great success, and we really hope that dog-lovers across Glasgow and the west can help us deliver an even bigger event this year.”
The uplifting event will benefit The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre and The Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, helping towards their life-saving research.
Owners are advised to be quick to book a place as the first 50 sign-ups will receive a round of app-paws and a goodie bag courtesy of pet retailer and supplier, Creature Comforts.
