How is being this adorable even possible?! Romanian rescue dog Jojo is now loving life in Friockheim with Michelle Grant.
Fabulous Freddy knows a good boy when he is one! The proud pup enjoyed a holiday trip to Dunnet Forest in Caithness with the Ingram family from Ellon.
We’ve a few pondering pups this week! Baxter has a thoughtful moment while visiting Airyhall with Gillian Wishart, from Crossgates, Fife.
Madie has bagged the best seat in the house! The pleased pooch found this wonderful toadstool during a walk round Ballater’s Seven Bridges with the Forbes family from Aboyne.
Judging by that look, magnificent Molly knows just how photogenic she is. We can see why Emily Mae couldn’t resist taking a snap in Friockheim – what a model to have on hand!
No dogs on the furniture? Nah, when you’re as good-looking as Snowy, you can persuade the humans to take the floor! Adam Gordon’s Bichon Frise chills out in Perth with his granny, Diana
It’s great to have live-in playmates! Gem, Tweed and Mac make the most of a sunny day in their back garden in Taynuilt, Argyll and Bute, with Lynne Murdoch.
“Come on in, the water’s lovely!” Anyone who says dogs can’t communicate has clearly never met Misty the eight-year-old cocker spaniel, who’s obviously telling the MacLeod family from Inverness to join her in the waves at Dalmore Beach, Isle of Lewis.
Donald Simpson tells us Obi, who lives in Shettleston, Glasgow, was a brilliant lockdown companion for his daughter. We can easily believe that — we’d be stuck in with the marvellous moggy any time
