Get snapping for Dogs Trust canine competition

The UK’s largest dog welfare charity, which has its Newbury Rehoming Centre in Hamstead Marshall, is urging budding photographers aged seven to 13 to get snapping to be in with a chance of winning a top of the range Pentax camera and a behind-the-scenes, hands-on day at their nearest Dogs Trust rehoming centre.
Dogs Trust chief executive officer, Clarissa Baldwin, said: “We wanted to give children a chance to capture the fun that dogs can bring to our lives.
“We can’t wait to see what images are captured and imagine the stories they could tell!
“We have seen through our extensive education campaign that there are many passionate young dog lovers.
“We created the Junior Canine Carer competition as a way to give children a chance to have a hand in helping the dogs in our care and learn more about the work we carry out.”
If you think you have what it takes to be a Dogs Trust Junior Canine Carer for a day and would like to enter the competition, simply take a picture of your dog (or a friend or family member’s dog) going about his or her normal day with a short caption.
You can either send your photo by post to: Dogs Trust, Junior Canine Carer competition, 17 Wakley Street, London EC1V 7RQ, by email

or upload your picture onto the Dogs Trust Junior Canine Carer album on Flickr (
