A DOG and her pet human are embarking on a paw-some charity challenge.
Bella, who is a rottsky (rottweiler crossed with a husky), will be walking 62 miles throughout October to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
She will be joined by her owner, Jamie Johnson of Abercarn, on the challenge – with the 62 miles equating to two miles each day of October.
This is part of a UK-wide dog walk challenge being hosted by Cancer Research UK encouraging dog owners to stay active while supporting the charity.
Mr Johnson said: “We aim to begin on October 1 and hit the goal of 62 miles by the end of October.
“We will be walking our local mountains and trails to reach this goal, raising money for a great charity.
“People can donate – if they wish – by clicking on the link to donations setup on my Facebook.
His page aims to raise at least £100 for Cancer Research UK with more than £40 already donated ahead of the challenge taking place next month.
