On Sunday, I will be taking part on Brysons Annual Dog Walk at Herrington Country Park in Sunderland to help raise some pennies for the Animal Rescue shelter that looked after me until I met Dads and took over their home, sorry, I mean moved into their home!

Brysons are a small independent shelter in Gateshead, North East England and look after dogs, cats, horses and other small furries who are looking for new homes. It costs around £300,000 a year to keep the shelter going, so every penny counts.
