South Marine Park will be taking the lead with two Snowdog sculptures, with dogs also in place at the Groyne and The Customs House.
Highlights across the region also include Skipper at Tynemouth Castle, who’s been sponsored by DFDS.
There will also be a pack of 95 smaller Snowdogs painted by the region’s school children forming part of the trail, which is raising funds for St Oswald’s Children’s Hospice.
