A Wirral dog owner is set to walk 100km with her Samoyed to raise money for Bone Cancer Research.
Anna Roberts, 26, is taking on the chairty challenge throughout November alongside her adorable Samoyed, Koda.
The pair hope to raise as much money as possible for Bone Cancer Research Trust, a charity that Anna says is extremely important to her.
Anna told TeamDogs: "Most people feel the effects of cancer in their lives so when Team Bones announced their 100km dog walk, I knew myself and Koda had to participate to raise awareness of bone cancer and support those who suffer with the illness.
"We were originally aiming to raise £120, however we have passed this now and have reached an amazing £385. We'd just like to keep going now, we're very thankful for the generosity of our family, friends and my workplace."
Anna, who is originally from Eastham, Wirral, has been best friends with Koda since he was a puppy. Unfortunately, the family's previous dog, a border collie named Pippin, died with cancer aged 12.
Anna said her "home didn't feel the same without a dog, so Koda joined the family."
Anna works as a graphic designer and marketer for a biodegradable and plastic free pet wipes company and even has Koda come in to model the products.
After a day of posing for the camera, Koda and Anna do a short walk of 3.5km but on their days off they have been venturing out to Eastham woods and stopping by the Mimosa cafe for some treats.
So far, the duo have completed eight walks with a distance of 39km.
Explaining Bone Cancer Research Trust relies solely on donations, Anna added: "Every 10 minutes somewhere another child, teenager or adult is diagnosed with this brutal disease and they face a five-year chance of survival at little over 50 per cent.
"This drops even further if the disease is discovered late and has already progressed.
"The Bone Cancer Research Trust is the only charity dedicated to this disease, it is a small but national charity based in Leeds, UK.
"They fund ground-breaking research, life-saving awareness initiatives and provide dedicated and trustworthy information and support to patients and all their loved ones., all without any government funding."
