Big Glasgow Bluebell Walk will help raise funds for more assistance dogs
The 'Paddington Bear' dog who was left abandoned at a train station in Ayr is set to be the star attraction at this year's Big Glasgow Bluebell Walk in aid of Canine Partners.
Kai, a Shar-Pei crossbreed, was found abandoned at Ayr station in Scotland in January. It is believed he had been abandoned after an internet sale went wrong, but investigations are ongoing.
The story garnered worldwide publicity, but it was Ian Russell, from Aberdeen, who was selected by the Scottish SPCA out of hundreds of people who all offered to give Kai a new home.
Taking place on Sunday, 10 May The Big Glasgow Bluebell Walk will help charity Canine Partners raise money to train more assistance dogs to transform the loves of people with disabilities.
Much more than just a walk, the day will offer participants a chance to watch some of the amazing tasks a Canine Partners assistance dog can perform to assist someone with a disability - as well as meet some of the young Canine Partners puppies in training.
A one mile circular route, the walk starts at the events field, Rouken Glen, at 2pm. For more information and to register visit caninepartners.org.uk/bigbluebellwalks.
