NO ONE can win hearts like man’s best friend and in honour of this bond between man and canine, Dog Day is celebrated.
The day will be celebrated on Saturday and as a way to recognise the day, we asked our readers to send in photos of their much loved pets.
Recommendations for ways to celebrate Dog Day range from adopting a dog from a rescue home to giving your dog a holistic spa treatment or even buying yourself and your dog matching t-shirts.
Here is a video of the photos we have received so far.
