DOG owners and their pets went walkies in Southampton to raise money for the RSPCA.

The two and four-legged fundraisers took part in Wag Walk, a seven-mile event that began outside the Cowherds pub on Southampton Common.

The dog that raises the most sponsorship will earn his or her owner a meal for two at the pub.

Proceeds from Wag Walk will go towards the Stubbington Ark Animal Shelter and the RSPCA Veterinary Clinic.

A similar event in Stubbington was started by Merdian presenter Fred Dinenage.
