Dalmatian owners from across Dorset gathered on Weymouth beach on Sunday, February 26 to raise money for a dog welfare charity.

Members of the Dally Rally group on social media meet once a year, bringing their dogs together for a chance to let the pets interact and walk together.

More than 30 dalmatians enjoyed the canine convention as the dogs were able to interact and run around with one another.

Steph Howard, a member of Dorset Dally Rally, said: "We run an annual dally rally every February and raise funds for the charity Dalmatian Welfare.

"It’s a great charity and it gives us a chance to all meet up and walk the dogs together. We had 33 attend our rally yesterday at Weymouth beach."

The Dorset rally group is just one of a number of rallies which took place across the country to raise money for the charity.

Nationwide the rallies have managed to raise over £1,000 for British Dalmatian Welfare.

The charity aims to relieve suffering of dalmatians in the UK who are in need of care an attention.

They provide and support rescue homes and educate the public on the care and protection of dalmatians.

The charity is run by volunteers and funded by the generosity of supporters and those who love the breed.
