Residents, families and their dogs came together at a care home event that raised money for a therapy dog charity.
Leeming Bar Grange Care Home held its annual dog show in September, raising £151 for Jack and Pals Therapy Dogs, which brings companionship and happiness to people in need.
The categories included “Dog Who Most Looks Like Their Owner”, “Most Endearing Eyes” and “Best Sausage Catcher”.

"Dogs truly are man’s best friend; it was incredible to see everyone’s faces light up as they watched all the dogs showcase their best tricks and adorable personalities."
Resident Alma said she had a special connection to the event.
She said: “I have such a bond with dogs and even used to rescue them.
