DOG owners paraded their proud pooches at a dog show to raise money for charity.

The Slimbridge dog show was a big success with local pet owners taking their dog along for the chance of winning a rosette.

"It was a very good day and everyone had a lot of fun," said Maureen Dore, one of the organisers of the event.

"There were some super little dogs there and lots of local people entered, which was what we wanted."

The money raised from the event will go towards the Gloucestershire mobile chemotherapy unit, which takes treatments out to patients to save them travelling to hospital and is the first of its kind in the country.

Winners Best in show: Mr King, with Benn the German Spitz.

Reserve best in show: Holly Apperley, with Sydney the Australian shepherd dog.

Best puppy: Laura Knight, with Chaos the boxer.

Best veteran: Dee Powell, with Buggs, a crossbreed.
