AN EMERSONS Green PAW Patrol fan was inspired by her heroes to raise money for real-life dogs.
Amelia Crawford, who is six, saw an advert from the Dogs Trust about their PAW Patrol on a Stroll campaign, featuring the cartoon characters who carry out daring rescues.
The charity helps dogs in distress and finds new families for those needing a home.
Amelia, a Year 2 pupil at Emersons Green Primary School, decided to help by taking family pet McCluskey the husky on a 6km walk around Bristol’s Harbourside.
Dad Chris said: “She asked what the money would be used for and she was then driven to raise money to help the dogs.
“She has an affinity for nature and regular trips to Longleat Safari park are her favourite.”
Her family helped her set up a fundraising page for family, friends and classmates with a target of £50, which she smashed, raising a total of £200.
Chris said: “Amelia was ecstatic each time another donation was received and she wanted to know what the extra money would do.”
She is now set to visit the charity’s centre in Cardiff to find out how the money will help its work.
