A small organisation of devoted animal-lovers has extended a helping hand to homeless dogs for more than a decade.
For 10 years, Care For The Paw has provided homeless dog owners with tinned dog food, blankets, and free vet care for their four-legged friends, who in turn provide love, companionship and comfort on the bitingly cold streets of Liverpool.
Founder Jan Hughes said: "I was in the garden one night, I had five dogs at the time, and it was really bitterly cold. So I got to thinking about how the guys and girls on the streets got on with their dogs.
