HAS your prized pooch got what it takes to be the face of an air ambulance fundraising campaign?

The Essex Air Ambulance Trust is on the lookout for its first ever Heli Hounds Hero.

The winner will be used on the poster for the 2018 Heli Hounds Walk.

To enter people must have signed up to take part in the 2017 walk and should send a photograph of their pup striking their best pose to communications@ehaat.uk.com by February 22.

The final eight dogs will be chosen and will lead out the Heli Hounds event on March 5 starting at the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Fundraising Office.

At the end of the five mile walk the winning dog will be announced.

To register for the walk visit www.essexairambulance.uk.com/events/spring-heli-hounds-dog-walk or call 0345 2417 690.
