DOGS were treated to an early Christmas present over the weekend when they got a visit from Santa Paws.
He visited the Sadberge branch of the Dogs Trust after Newcastle Brown Ale donated some coats for the dogs at the centre to wear during the cold months.
The coats, designed by North-East company Soccer Pets, were given as part of the Walk the Dog initiative, which was launched last month by the brewery to encourage people to become volunteer walkers at the home.
Re-homing centre manager Sue Embleton said: "The coats are fabulous and I'm sure the dogs are very happy with their early Christmas present.
"Our open weekends are always a great success and having Santa Paws give out these extra gifts has been great.
"The coats will really come in handy when the dogs go out on their walks this winter."
