To be honest, Ria, that’s the same look we have when we get to go to the beach! Debbie Black’s pup embraces the sea air at Greyhope Bay, Aberdeen.
Despite matching the lovely colour of the sand, June Smith’s characterful cocker spaniel Twister still manages to stand out on a visit to Hopeman beach in Moray.
This may be the most proud we’ve ever seen a dog look! Gus lives in Staffin, Skye, with Anne Macleod, and clearly loves football
We bet nothing gets past two-year-old Sparky. Even out for a walk with Eszter and David Campbell in Durness, the working border collie looks alert! Apparently, for his birthday, Sparky wanted to be in the paper… We’re delighted to oblige, Sparky!
We hope thoughtful Max is having happy memories of walks, toys and playing with Danielle Gordon in Aberdeen.
We’re not sure Nell is completely blown away by the Harry Potter magic of the Glenfinnan Viaduct… But Willie Simpson from Mallaig’s pet is a far better sight anyway!
Hmm, something makes us think it may have been someone’s big day… Happy birthday Rosie! We hope you and Duke had a wonderful party with James  Stewart in Peterhead.
Darcey, who belongs to Shiona Annal, Aberdeen, is right to look so proud on Scolty Hill in Banchory. We bet wee legs don’t stop her taking big walks!
Oh, Lexi, you have every right to look pleased with yourself. Your pups are simply gorgeous! Maggie Matheson took this adorable family portrait of the proud mum (centre) with her puppies Pepsi and Piper in Portree, Skye.
