A CATWALK for dogs is being prepared on Teesside and man's four-legged friends are being groomed for stardom at a show this weekend.

Visitors to the Lingfield Countryside Centre, in Coulby Newham, Middlesbrough, can get involved in the dog day mayhem show.

There will be demonstrations of dog agility, information about dogs, guide dogs and dogs for the deaf, as well as fun activities for families and their pets.

Owners can also have their dog microchipped for free by a warden.

The event takes place at the centre from 11am to 3pm on Sunday.
