Our readers' favourite pictures of their pets across the North East

In light of National Love Your Pet day on Monday, we asked our readers to send in their favourite pictures of their pets – and adorable pictures flooded in.

From cats and dogs to even snails and robots, our readers’ most loved animals were shown in their best light.

Although every day should be Love Your Pet Day, it was official on Monday with people across the country spoiling and pampering their loved ones.

Check out pictures of our readers’ pets below and see if you can see yours below:
