"Amber and Charlie boy! We love having Charlie here with us - he's 2 this year, and I thought I'd get him to keep Amber and myself company. He fits nicely into our home, no more kids so I thought I'll get a dog instead - not sure which was more work! πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚ Amber says she loves Charlie because she has no brothers or sisters, so he protects her, goes everywhere with her and is her best friend. Definitely wouldn't have it any other way." - Nikki Hume

"One of my 3 handsome boys, Mika. He’s a proper mummie's boy!. We rescued him when he was 2 years old. He was very jumpy due to the bad start in life he had. If he was scared he used to jump on my knee! But these days he’s the most laid-back husky ever." - Cheryl Reid

"This is my dog Troop - my wee rescue soul mate who has been by my side for the past 12 and a half years. We’ve been through some tough times together, and even survived a house fire! He’s very much young at heart and the best at duping even the vet nurses to think he is a young puppy. A complete mix of a dog, with a heart of gold and a very hollow stomach!" - Alyson Bell

And they call it....puppy love!

13 February 2019

There's nothing like the love you have for a pet - and for a lot of us, our canine companions are more than just pets. They're our best friends, our confidantes, they're members of our family.

Coming home and being greeted by the excited barks, the cuddles and big puppy dog eyes...it's a feeling like no other, that fills you with a warmth and joy.

Continuing on our Gallery of Love series, we teamed up with Dog Friendly Perthshire to get you to send in your selfies with your furry friends - and we were overwhelmed with how cute they all are!!!

It was really (really) hard to narrow it down, but we've put up a selection of some of our favourite snaps. So kick back and enjoy this utterly "pawfect" selection of snaps πŸΆπŸ’•
