Dog lovers and their pets are being asked to take part in the annual 'Walk for Wag' fundraiser for Wag & Company.
The North East charity combats loneliness among elderly dog lovers.
This year, the fundraiser will be held at Derwent Reservoir and Waterside, in County Durham, on September 14.
Participants can choose between taking part in an 8km or a 3km walk.
The event raises funds for the charity's Wag Teams, which visit older people in their homes.
Diane Morton, founding director of Wag & Company, said: “This is such an important fundraiser for us, our volunteers and supporters.
"Last year was a lovely day out and we hope it will be bigger and better supported this year, now we have a new location.
“There is no charge to take part, but we rely on your fundraising.
"So, we need every adult who takes part to fundraise or donate to enable our work.”
