More than 300 bull terriers and their owners recently took part in a mass beach walk in Somerset.
The 15th annual 'Bullie Bash' was held on Unity Beach in Brean on Saturday, May 9, welcoming dogs from across the world.
The charity event was set up by West Country Bullie Walks (WCBW) to show what bull terriers are really like and to challenge how they are portrayed in the media.
This year's event raised a "staggering" £22,300 towards the vet bills for bull terriers and Staffordshire bull terriers in UK rescue centres.

Organiser Rich Parsons said: "We had 308 bull terriers on our beach walk on Saturday morning and in total had 350-plus attend the weekend.
"The weather was kind to us and fun was had by all.
"We had visitors from all over the UK, as well as France and Austria, and a couple flew in from the USA,"
A fair was also held on Unity Beach on the Saturday afternoon, with a BBQ, Pimm’s, fancy dress, raffles and an auction to raise money towards the vet bills.
Rich added: "WCBW would like to pass on our thanks to Unity Beach, the local businesses and the local community for making us so welcome."
