For International Dog Day, which celebrates everything dog-related on August 23, we asked you to mark the day by sending us pictures of your dogs.
Established in 2004 by animal advocate Colleen Paige, this day recognizes the important role that dogs play in our lives, whether as pets, working animals, or service dogs.
Over 1000 of you sent in pictures of your furry friends, either out and about or in the house.
Thank you all for joining in and making us smile with the cute photos of your pawsome pooches!
Many of them can be seen on our News & Star Facebook page, but here are a few we would like to share with you.
