Life’s a beach for Luna the sproodle from Coaltown of Balgonie, Fife. Susan Harley’s cheerful champ clearly loves a visit to the seaside.
To be honest, we can’t even describe the noise we made when we saw this picture. High-pitched squeak of joy comes closest! Meggie must melt hearts in Westhill, where she lives with Alison and Bob Bain.
Being fabulous is tiring! Cosmically curly Coco has a little rest after her walk with Ann and Charlie Ross in Inverness.

Phoebe clearly has age and beauty! The precious 11-year-old was recently rehomed by Pat and Tony Middleton in Cullen.
Oh, Tigger, if we could reach your tummy, we’d tickle it for you! How Gillian Ogg gets anything done in Kingskettle, Fife, with a cuddle companion that tempting, we’ve no idea…
We can almost hear Noddy telling Ian Ogilvie that, yes, he knows he’s the bestest boy, but hurry up with the picture – there are adventures to be had in Glenrothes!
What are you thinking, Nova? Despite only being four, the cockapoo has wisdom behind those hypnotic eyes. Edna Kirton lives with the thoughtful girl in Aberdeen.
This wonderful photo of Rosie the retriever and Tyson the bulldog genuinely made us sit up straighter! What dignified, elegant dogs Bob Carse is lucky to live with in Dundee.
Ooh, now this is a policy we can get behind. Everyone in the sunbeam! Vizsla Brody, whippet Kirsty and Italian greyhound puppy Lucca find the best spot in Edie Chapman’s house in Strichen.
We’re famously a nation of animal-lovers. But just what is it about dogs that us Brits love so much? Well, we reckon marvellous Marley pretty much sums it up. Her innocent delight at visiting Aberdeen beach just makes our whole day better! Mark and Chantelle Forbes must love their walks with this special girl.
Mini dachshunds… Erm, cute… Pillowzzz… Sorry, but Dollie and Tinkerbelle look so comfy, it’s making us sleepy! We hope after this picture, Louise Scot snuggled back in Aberdeen.
