LAST week saw National Dog Photography Day - a day to celebrate the ever-growing number of pooches in the UK and memorialise them in a picture.

We asked readers on our social media pages to send their favourite pictures of their companions and they didn't disappoint.

For the glorious full list please see our Facebook page - but here's a few below that caught our eye!
