Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane sketches his dogs for pet charity fundraiser
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR superstar Harry Kane shows he's as good with a pen as taking penalties by sketching his two cherished dogs for a charity appeal.
Harry Kane sketched portraits of his dogs Wilson and Brady
The England striker penned portraits of his Labradors Wilson and Brady to help the Blue Cross in its campaign to help poorly and homeless pets.
Although high-scoring Harry has not thrown in the towel as Spurs pursue the Premier League title, his nifty artwork has found its way on to a limited-edition tea towel as part of the charity's fundraising.
Blue Cross is kicking off its Paws for Tea campaign, which encourages animal lovers to host tea parties at home or in the office, to help support the hundreds of animals in the charity's care.
The artwork is featured on limited-edition tea towels
My dogs Wilson and Brady are a huge part of my family life
Harry, whose black and yellow Labradors feature regularly on his Instagram pages, said: "My dogs Wilson and Brady are a huge part of my family life.
"Knowing that there are so many homeless dogs out there without a loving home of their own is upsetting, which is why I'm supporting the Blue Cross who help thousands of pets to find new homes every year.
"Help them help even more by popping on the kettle this month and fundraising with Paws for Tea."
Pam Ferris has also designed her own tea town featuring her dogs Stan and Elsie
Lurcher Stan and Parson Jack Russell Elsie feature on the tea towel
Actress and Blue Cross ambassador Pam Ferris has also designed her own tea towel, featuring her dogs Lurcher Stan and Parson Jack Russell Elsie, along with Harry Potter and Star Wars actor Warwick Davis and his Malchi Sherlock.
Last year Blue Cross helped more than 40,000 sick and injured pets through its rehoming centres and animal hospitals.

Matthew Cull, deputy director of fundraising for Blue Cross, said: "Paws for Tea is the perfect fundraising event that everyone can do - plus it's a perfect excuse to get together with family, friends, neighbours or colleagues for a catch up over a cup of tea and a slice of cake.
"Blue Cross improves the lives of thousands of pets each year, and it's events like this which raises funds to make that possible."
