Most dogs probably feel they should be celebrated every day by their owners.

However, they do have one day where they are recognised throughout the world for the love they bring to the lives of their families.

International Dog Day was celebrated last Friday, August 26.

The News asked readers to send in photos of their dogs to celebrate the day, and boy did they deliver, with hundreds of photos posted to our Facebook page.

Here is just a small selection to help celebrate the day made especially for dogs.
