Celebrity ambassador Ben Fogle launched the walk in London.

Nearly 2,000 take part in UK-wide walk

A charity dog walk that took place across the UK is expected to raise more than £25,000 for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

Nearly 2,000 people took part in the Great British Dog Walk with their four-legged friends. It took place at 10 stunning National Trust sites across the UK.

The event was organised by celebrity ambassador Ben Fogle, who launched the walk at Osterley Park in London.

Other celebrities to take part included Countdown's Rachel Riley, who walked hearing dog Ginnie; Kaye Adams from Loose Women, accompanied by a hearing dog puppy at Pollok House in Glasgow; and BBC presenter Adam Henson, who led the walk at Hanbury Hall in Worcestershire with a hearing dog and his Hungarian Visla Boo.

Specially trained hearing dogs offer life-changing independence to deaf people by alerting their owners to sounds including the doorbell, phone and fire alarm.
