Pet portraits: Your pictures of the north of Scotland’s cutest companions!

Eyes... Fur... Something about water... Nope, Pippa is so precious, we’ve lost the ability to write! Thank you Eilidh Robertson of Huntly for sharing this photo of Pippa when she was a puppy visiting Aviemore.

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 winners are Zeus, Ruby, Fern and Sid packed in the back of Garry Grassick and Holly Robertson’s car.


Check out our gallery below

Daisy, Daisy, give us your answer do… Can we play with you? Delightful Daisy enjoys the beach with Amy Louise Falconer from Forfar.
It broke our hearts to hear Archie, shown with brother Findlay, had passed away. But we’re honoured that Arthur and Carole Fraser of Inverness shared this beautiful memory with us and we hope it helps them remember their lovely lad.
What’s on your mind, Gunner? Roxanne Kerr from Dunfermline has a thoughtful companion for a walk by the Tay near Luncarty.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers is… They team up with Lucys to make life twice as cute in Kingskettle, Fife, for Gillian Ogg.
WINNERS! What can you fit in your boot? Garry Grassick and Holly Robertson from Alford have Zeus, Ruby, Fern and Sid in there – and now our cars seem really disappointingly small…
Give us a kiss, Bear! Stella Bruce’s four-year-old Staffie certainly enjoys having his picture taken in Aberdeen. And rightly so. If you’re that photogenic, make the most of it!
Talented Lola really is on the ball! We bet Billie Mackay’s beauty is the best ball-carrier in Bankfoot.
We hope you have 98 other red balloons too, Nina! Charlie, Grace and Erica Bagshaw celebrate the proud pooch’s birthday in Hatton.
As we write, it’s grey and raining… So a photo of Ralfi in the bright spring flowers is just what we need! Chris Page has sunshine every day in Dyce.
Ah, pets. Our connection to the tranquil beauty of nature. The poise. The dignity… OK, so the best bit is laughing at the bizarre positions they find comfortable! Bran shows Dave and Suzanne Geddie how to really sunbathe in Aberdeen.
Teddy may be the most aptly named pet we’ve ever had. We wouldn’t be able to resist cuddling Lauren Town’s cat in New Deer, Aberdeenshire.
We promised last week that Maisy from Insch’s pup would break the cuteometer… And we always deliver! Fab fluffball Poppet visited Coll with Jeff and Ann Garnett.
We assume that look means the magnificently-monikered Miss Marple is about to solve the Great Helensburgh Mystery! Stewart Campbell’s son Allan and daughter-in-law Sarah own the cute sleuth.
