Happy International Dog Day! August 26 officially celebrates all things paw-fectly canine.

Whether they are big, small, fluffy, dribbly, have three legs, work hard on a farm or live in your lap, the UK is a country of dog lovers and Oxfordshire is no different.

We asked our readers to submit photos of their dogs for International Dog Day and we were absolutely inundated with entries.

The Oxford Mail received nearly 1,300 photos of Oxfordshire’s finest pooches in just 24 hours. 

Although we would have loved to, we could not feature every single dog but take a look at some of our absolute favourites in the gallery above.
