We were won over by wondering just what wistful 14-month-old Millie from Brora is thinking as she takes a breather during her hillwalk with Katie and Kyle Smith...
Could your pet be the cutest in the region?
Put your opinion to the test with our weekly Pet Portraits gallery, where your beloved companion could be among the most adorable animals in the area.
This week’s winner is 14-month-old Millie (above) from Brora!
According to Alice Fraser from Forres, it was double the fun at Unleashed <br />dog park in Nairn for Heidi and Arlo the beagles.
Elegant Eva looks as lovely as the view during her favourite walk at Balbithan, Inverurie. She lives with Graham and Zoe in Hatton Of Fintray.
Yeah, no one is bouncing on this trampoline without Mabel’s permission! We’re confident she <br />lets her seven-year-old owner, Hamish Thomson, from Alford, have a go, though.
Need to rest and cool off at the same time? Millie has a simple solution for you! The water loving pup lives in Bridge of Don with Elise Simpson.
One for all, and all for one! Morag Kennedy from Forres seems to have her own little band of Musketeers on the Dava Way — Roxy, Ceilbhe and Daisy Doo
Eight, nine, 10… Coming, ready or not! Erm, Harris the five-year-old cairn terrier might be gorgeous, but we’re not sure he’s quite nailed hide and seek just yet… Wendy Anderson will have to make sure they get a little more practice in at home in Farr, near Inverness.
While Paul Dorosh and Michelle Kitayama from Rothienorman were away, Dash was out to play! It looks like Dash’s granny Pauline Smith took very good care of the handsome boy while his owners were on holiday
Training seems to be going well for Tess. At just six months old, the collie looks every inch the obedient companion at Pitfour Lake with Natasha Cruden from Fraserburgh.
Handsome Hansen must be the happiest rottweiler we’ve ever seen! The joyful three-year-old surely spreads delight every time he goes out with Susan and Keith Rennie from Portlethen.
It’s a cat’s life! Polly nails epic relaxation in East Wemyss, Fife, where the comfortable kitty lives with Diane Davie.
