Did you take part in this year's Great North Dog Walk? Picture: Johnston Press.

You came in your thousands to take part in the event, which celebrated a record number of visitors, and raise well-deserved cash for a good cause.

It's a record! Thousands take part in Great North Dog Walk in South Shields

We were there snapping pictures and meeting all of you (and your furry friends too!) - but though you were busy walking, many of you found some time to take pictures of your own.

And what a sight they are!

Flick through our picture gallery above to see if you can spot a friendly and familiar face.

Speaking to the Gazette on the day, organiser Tony Carlisle said: “I’d like to say a huge thanks to all of the volunteers and everyone who supported and took part in the event.”
