Check out our gallery below

Izzy demonstrates the correct way to sit pretty at Portessie near Buckie! John Ferrett is the wonderfully expressive pup’s lucky owner
We can see why this lovely lass is called Treacle… We’re totally stuck on <br />her! Sweet little Treacle lives in Inverurie with Marcus Davidson.
Being named after a Norse god is quite a moniker to live up to… But handsome Odin manages it in style! Ian and Ruth Gordon live with Odin in Tayport.
This week’s most infectious grin belongs to Corben the Bernese mountain dog, for whom we can’t think of a clever caption as we’re too busy smiling soppily! He clearly loved being at Dunnottar with Melanie Cowie.
Ziggy wraps up warm at Burnside of Dun. The stylish lad lives with Carol and Kevin Pirie, and sisters Eilidh and Freya.
We’re simply potty about you, Sam! It seems the lovely Labrador likes to lend a helping paw in Sheena Joss’s garden in Broughty Ferry. We demand he gets his own gardening show
Judging by those sparkling eyes, Romanian rescues Tommy, who’s five, and six-year-old Hazel are thriving in their forever home in Glencoe with Kim Macdonald.
Patience. Elegance. Poise. At just nine months old, gorgeous Cooper has it all! Ali and Irene Bain are raising a perfect gent in Garmouth.
Rufus is a step up from your ordinary dog… The cheeky chap gets a boost in Emma, Anne and Stuart Calder‘s garden in Evanton, Easter Ross.
Ashley Peterkin is certain that magnificent Murphy is the cutest pet around. It’s pretty hard to argue with that! The seven-month-old border collie melts hearts in Inverurie.
Very sadly, Lynne Rennie from Inverness recently lost lovely Maci, who was six. She looks like a beautiful soul to us.
Marta’s grandparents read the paper every week, so Gill Walker’s photo of her at the Glenlivet Estate is the perfect reward for their excellent taste!
Oh, Clova, you’ll break our hearts! Hilary Gaunt has to try to resist those soulfull eyes every day in Crathes…
