The UK marked the day dedicated to our fluffy best friends on Friday and we wanted to get involved in the celebrations.
We asked our readers to share photographs of their perfect pups and – as expected – many of you jumped at the chance to show off the cutest snaps of your dogs.
Hundreds of photos were submitted and, as much as we’d love to include them all, we had to pick just some of our favourites.
