A SPONSORED dog walk in Richmond Park raised £550 for Children in Need.

Professional dog walker Jonathan Limes, of Tailwaggers, took 30 of his furry friends for a walk last Friday.

He was joined by volunteers and some of the pooches' owners.

Jonathan said: "The dogs insisted that they wanted to raise some money for Children in Need, so I donated all of the money I earned for walking them that day to charity and the owners were also very generous. I usually walk about six at a time and do three or four walks a day, so they were quite a handful."

Their hour-long walk took them from Sheen Gate to Pembroke Lodge.
