A NORTH-East police force’s dogs are the stars of a new calendar.

Animal lovers can mark the passing of 2015 with photographs of Durham Constabulary’s canine coppers,

Proceeds from the sale of the Paws Up Calendar will go to the Durham Retired Police Dogs Benevolent Fund.

The charity was set up by the force to raise money for the care of its dogs when their working life has come to an end.

The calendar costs £8, including post and packing, and is available at www.pawsup.org.uk
