As well as a doggy in the window at The Bridges, there’ll be Snowdog sculptures at the Stadium of Light, Sunniside Gardens, Keel Square and more.
There will also be a pack of 95 smaller Snowdogs painted by the region’s school children forming part of the trail, which is raising funds for St Oswald’s Children’s Hospice.
