Could your pet be the spookiest in the region this Halloween? This week’s winner is the spectacul-arrh Frank from Macduff.

His owners Suzi and Matthew Smith took this amazing picture of him all dressed up and ready for some trick-or-treating.

Channeling his inner Captain Jack Sparrow, Frank is a sight to sea. He followed his treasure map to success to plunder this week’s victory, something his crew of salty ol’ sea dogs would be proud of.

Fabulous Frank, terror of the high seas! Suzi and Matthew Smith’s pooch looks proud as punch to be a pirate. We hope the people of Macduff are ready for maritime mischief…

In our weekly Pet Portraits gallery, your beloved companion could be among the most adorable animals in the area. In this week’s spooky special, we’re featuring your creepy companions dressed up for Halloween.

Silky black cat… Dramatic cape… Spooky pumpkin… Yes, it seems Shia has managed to nail Halloween chic! He brings a little magic to Sam Macaree’s Essex home.

Devilish Daisy and her spooky sister Lola try to look frightening in Carnoustie. But owner Helen Waggott will need more than headgear to pull that off. The gorgeous girls’ soulful eyes give away their true charming nature.

Maija and Alice bring a little Macbeth to the woods of Aberdeen with their witchy ways while out with Aina Timohovich.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Bear the Superdog! The heroic hound keeps Chelsea Stewart safe in Dundee.

We love an unusual pet, so were delighted by Megan MacAskill’s pet spider… Just kidding, we know it’s you, Rolo! The adorable arachnid lives in Glenelg.

Who you gonna call?! If we see something strange, we’ll be straight on the phone to Ken and Maisie. We’re not sure they’ll bust any ghosts, though – we want a cute cuddle instead! Stacey Golding gets plenty of hugs from this adorable duo in Oldmeldrum.

Give us a song, Lucy! We’re sure the lovely lass makes beautiful music to charm the residents of Aberdeen when she’s out with Katie Chong.

Hendrix proves you don’t need to be a mammal to pull off a cool costume! The bearded dragon lives with Lauren Smith in Portknockie.

Apparently, Bob is the shop cat at Laurencekirk Pet Supplies and now we can’t fathom why every shop doesn’t have a cat! Gordon Fyfe is rightly proud of his precious puss.

Aw, Brucey, we know you’re trying to scare us, but you’re too pretty a pumpkin! He charms Sinead Reid in Aberdeen.

Those eyes won’t work on us, Amber… Oh, OK, the pumpkin’s yours! Gary Mortimer tries to stay stronger than us in Peterhead.

If you would like to see your pet in the Your Life supplement, please send your high-resolution (good-quality) photographs to pets@dctmedia.co.uk

Please ensure you tell us your pet’s name, your own name and address, and where the picture was taken. There may be a short delay before it appears. Photos must be hi-res to print.

Each week, we will select a winning photograph and the lucky owner will receive a £50 Pets At Home gift card. At a time where costs are increasing, we’d like to make life a little easier for our readers. You can spend the voucher on essentials such
as food and bedding, or just spoil your furry friend with a new toy or some tasty treats.
