The event in Cleobury Mortimer was the first of its kind, and organiser, Melissa Romeo-Cadwallader, said it had been such a hit that it would be returning later this year.

The county has already seen successful sausage-dog events in Shrewsbury, and Melissa said she had attended others in Shropshire, and in other parts of the country.

The Cleobury Mortimer event started at the town's sport and social club, which opened early especially for the occasion.

Melissa also thanked Carolyn Wood, who had attended with a stall selling specially created coats for the little dogs, and the Cleobury Mortimer shop, Pets Max, which had other dog treats and items.
