CHARITY bosses are hoping people will paws to help a hospice's cutest fundraising campaign.
St Teresa's Hospice, in Darlington, has produced thousands of soft toy puppies, which can be bought for £1.
The pups are available in schools, offices, shops and doctors' surgeries around the Darlington area.
The "Pup Idol" campaign will run into next month and all proceeds will go to the charity.
Hospice director Jane Bradshaw said: "We want people to keep an eye out for these pups that are currently invading the Darlington area. My message would be to have a heart and take one home with you today."
