Dogs and their owners are to be put through their paces in the coming weeks for the Great British Greyhound Walk.

Organised for the second year in a row, the aim of the event is to have as many greyhounds and lurchers walking together at the same time, on the same day, across the United Kingdom.

Last year, in 44 different locations up and down the country, more than 1,641 dogs took part, bringing groups of like-minded owners together, socialising the dogs and raising awareness of greyhounds.

One of these events will be held at Rickmansworth Aquadrome, on Sunday, June 26, from 10am to midday.
