A business has come up with a new fundraiser that asks dog owners to raise money by going on a walk.

OSCAR Pet foods branch in Carlisle is one of the stores to participate in its company's first ever fundraising event of 2023 on an app called Trundl.

During March 8 and 16, dogwalkers will go on the app which will mark down the distance of walking and turn into sponsored donations which will go to Dogs for Autism.

When trundlrs hit 1000kms, OSCAR will donate £125 to Dogs for Autism and trundl will match that amount.

Stuart Edgar from OSCAR Carlisle said: "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Dogs for Autism and the good that they do.

"Many autistic people struggle with their day to day lives, but with the help of an Autism Assistance dog they can gain independence and access the outside world.

"I’m so proud that our food powers these dogs through their important work".
