An Ellon based dog walking group, which focuses on mental health, are preparing to become an official charity, and expand their operations.

PawPalz started as a small initiative for men to make friends and talk about their mental wellbeing.

Now it's grown, and has a women's group as well as various walks a week.

Founder Toby McKillop credits his dog Ebby for saving his life, and he says being part of the group throughout the pandemic has been "massive" for both he and it's members.
