Bow Wow – the David Bowie themed dog – had attracted pledges of more than £3,000 this afternoon and is expected to be popular with collectors.

Gizmo and Disco Dog had both attracted nearly £2,000 in bids. There was a bid for more than £1,000 each for Dave the Dog, Rose, Blot the Dog, Brighton Belle, Roodle and Bella.

Hundreds of thousands of pounds is expected to be raised for The Martlets tonight at the Snowdog auction.
