Dozens of dogs in Newcastle don Christmas jumpers for walk

Newcastle dog owners and their pets were feeling the cheer as they strutted out in their most festive knitwear.

For the second year, dog walkers Jess Fox and Hound organised the Christmas Jumper Dog Walk as a fundraiser for charity Street Paws.

"We just get dogs dressed up in Christmas jumpers, do a great walk around Ouseburn, and just make sure the dogs and ourselves have a great time," said Jess Fox.

"I feel like this is a dream come true for me in all honesty," said Jess Littlefair, who brought her whippet Bertie.

Professional dog walkers and a dog behaviourist were on hand to keep the chaos of so many dogs under control.
