Stars pose with their dogs for charity

Dog-loving celebrities have posed with their pets as part of a special exhibition to raise money for the charity Guide Dogs.

Gary Lineker, Felicity Kendal and John Prescott were among the famous faces who were photographed with their dogs to raise funds towards the training and placement of more than 800 guide dogs next year.

The pictures, taken by photographer Adrian Houston, can be seen from November 5 to 6 at the Amazing Partnership photography exhibition at the Haunch of Venison Art Gallery in Burlington Gardens, London.

They will be available to buy in a silent auction at the gallery on November 4.

Dame Mary Perkins, founder of exhibition sponsor Specsavers, said: "The Amazing Partnerships exhibition of celebrity photographs is a great way to illustrate the special bond that exists between an owner and their pet, which is something that we're delighted to be able to support."
