AS PART of National Love Your Pet Day on Thursday, we asked our followers on Facebook to send in pictures of their furry, fluffy and scaly friends.

We had more than 200 pictures of dogs, cats, rabbits and snails sent to us; but unfortunately we only have room for 12 in the paper.

Thanks to everyone who sent pictures in.

To see the others that were sent in, visit out Facebook page and take a look at the comments beneath the post on Thursday – we hope you like them as much as we do.
