The JSPCA has launched a new fundraising competition to crown 'Jersey's Top Dog'.

The title will be given to the top fundraiser - who manages to spend a day locked inside the Animals Shelter's kennels.

12 contestants can be nominated to take part, with each one asked to raise £100 to take part.

The JSPCA wants those taking part to bring a laptop and mobile phone so they can carry on raising money throughout the day.

WHAT A VIEW: Contestants will spend 9am-5pm in the kennels to raise money for the local animal charity.

'Treats' have been promised to those on their best behaviour - like a chair, blankets and hot drinks.

The participants will also get to go on two 'walks' during their day at the kennels, to let them stretch their legs and see the JSPCA's facilities and spend time with some of the dogs in the JSPCA's care.

The deadline for nominations is Wednesday 1 May, with the fundraising day planned for Friday 7 June.
