A TEAM of vets from a York practice are preparing to get filthy when they take on one of the biggest obstacle courses in the UK - with their dogs.
Colleagues from Tower Vets are gearing up to run and roll their way through mud and water alongside their four-legged friends at the Muddy Dog Challenge in Leeds, all to raise funds for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
Lucy Wood, Jane Ireland, Aimee Waterfield, Mia Hall, Poppy Noble and Becky Gregory will be joined on the day by their canine companions.
Lucy said the group was hoping to raise £600 for Battersea which rescues and cares for abandoned, neglected and stray dogs and cats until new homes are found.
Lucy said: “As a team we see rescue dogs all the time at the practice. Many of us have worked and volunteered at rescue centres and rehomed numerous dogs ourselves.
“These dogs often need and deserve extra special care after everything they've been through. We always want to do everything we can to help dogs who've had a tough start in life to get back on track."
