ON FEBRUARY 20 pet lovers across the country took part in National Love Your Pet Day.
The day aims to focus on giving extra attention to our pets and encourages the pampering of our beloved adopted family members.
It aims to celebrate the special relationship pets hold in our lives.
To mark the celebration, we asked our readers to send in pictures of their beloved pets.
