Danny the Pekinese was the star attraction

The variety of dogs that came along to take part included this year's Crufts Dog of the Year winner, Danny.

There was lots to do before the dogs and their owners attempted to break the world record.

There were magicians, bouncy castles and various pet accessory stalls.

Number 161

The dogs also had to register at the registration point.

Then finally at 12 noon Buster and I set off, our number being 161.

On our way round the course we ran into my Uncle and his dog Abbie.

This three mile sponsored walk was not only a world record attempt but sponsorship money was also being raised to buy an ultra sound scanner for The Dick Vet Hospital in Edinburgh.

Just missed out

Despite the weather which was rain, hailstones and windy, everyone had a great day - especially Buster and I.

After the walk we were exhausted and unfortunately we just failed to beat the world record attempt.

However a very large amount of money was raised to buy the ultra sound scanner.

On behalf of everyone who attended the walk I'd like to thank all the staff who helped make this a successful and fun day out."
