National Dog Day was celebrated across the UK last month on Friday, August 26. The commemorative day was founded in 2004 by Colleen Paige, an animal welfare advocate, to celebrate all breeds of dog and also to help raise awareness of the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year.
We asked you, the people of Sheffield, to send in some of your best and cutest pictures of your dogs to celebrate National Dog Day, and here are just some of the pictures you sent in:
