A dog photographer who captures hilarious pictures of pooches trying to catch cubes of cheese has been busy raising money to buy pet food for food banks.

56-year-old Carolyne Cowan recently snapped pictures of 41 dogs lunging for cheese at a charity ‘catchathon' event.

Mom-of-two Carolyne pictured everything from Rottweilers and Greyhounds to little Border Terriers.

Her husband Alasdair diced up 10kg of cheese to throw at the pooches while Carolyne snapped away, taking around 50 pictures per pet.

Hilarious behind-the-scenes footage shows impatient Rottweiler Zeus getting set up to catch the cheese.

Carolyne started the event in 2018 and put it on for 14 months, raising £15,000 ($20,000), but was forced to pull the plug on it when the pandemic hit.

Carolyne, who owns Carrie Southerton Photography, said of their recent event, "It was a crazy day but we have never laughed so much ever.

"The owners had a ball, it was brilliant.

"There were only six dogs who didn't or couldn't catch the cheese.

"Some were being princesses and just looking at Alasdair after he threw the cheese with great distain, as if to say, how dare you throw something at me.

"But you get the hilarious outtakes with the ones who don't catch so it was great fun and the dogs loved it.

"We started a fundraising page because someone in America contacted us saying they could be there but would like to donate.

"So we are hoping to get up to our target through that."
