Brighton and Hove are currently hosting 'Snowdogs of the Sea' charity sculpture trail to raise funds for Martlet's Hospice. The snowdog sculptures are inspired by the animated short "The Snowman™ and The Snowdog", which is a popular winter and holiday film featuring a little boy who builds a magical snowman and snowdog. Each one of the 45 sculptures on the trail has been painted or crafted by an artist. Newcastle and Tyne have hosted a similar set sculptures for their trail 'Snowdogs of the Great North', which I covered here. The snowdog charity trail runs until 27 November, and the sculptures will be auctioned next month.

I had so much fun tracking down these snowdogs! Unfortunately, I did not manage to see all of them because quite a few are spread out and not easy to get to by car. I did see most of them, and there are a few duplicates from the pack in the northern trail. The dogs will be on the trail until the 27th of this month. For more information about them and the trail, please view the official website at http://www.snowdogsbythesea.co.uk
