Today is the last day for schools, colleges and children's nurseries to adopt and design their own mini dog sculpture.
Once decorated, the Swinpups will feature on the free art trail through some of Swindon’s best-loved and historical places, alongside around 30 giant Swindog sculptures.
They will then return to their forever homes for schools and communities to enjoy for years to come.
If you’re a parent, make sure to check that your child’s school is participating and help raise some vital funds for Julia's House, Wiltshire’s children’s hospice charity.

Talented mum and son duo become part of the Big Dog pack 🐾 Judy and Morgan Guillery, from Swindon, will both foster a Swindog whilst they bring their brilliant designs to life on the super-sized balloon dog sculptures 🎨 Judy's Swindog design 'Love Grows' is inspired by nature and growth. She also wanted her design to reflect her @judeetreeart journey which began with family trees. Judy has been involved in various art projects in Swindon. Morgan, aged 12, won the Swindon Advertiser Swindog design competition. He likes to include mechanical elements in his drawings and Swindon’s steam heritage inspired his 'Steam Punk' design.
