A 45-kilo canine gentle giant has taken on a charity challenge to show support for the homeless people in the North East.
Minnie, a Bernese mountain dog, is owned by Maxine Cormack from Monkseaton, Whitley Bay. The pair have been taking on the 274,000 step challenge in aid of the Street Paws charity.
Maxine said: "We are really enjoying the challenge. Minnie is eight years old now which is quite a good age for a dog of her breed, but she is plodding along nicely.
