Kath O'Donnell, of the Three Amigos FUNdraising Group, based in Littleborough, said: “This event was created from Oscars love of walks and he attended every Doggy Dash for Life.
“Unfortunately, he suffered an aggressive cancer that took him on 3 November 2017. He was a very popular dog with a fantastic, cheeky character."
The sponsored dog walk is a fun family event around Hollingworth Lake, where participants could walk, jog or run for Cancer Research UK.
There was also a tombola stall and prizes for best fancy dress and most sponsor money collected.
