Man's best friend is certainly something to celebrate and August 26 was a day set aside specifically to do this.

Well International Dog Day has passed but we can still proudly celebrate our much-loved fur babies.

Some people have sent in pictures of the four-legged family members and we are excited to share those photos.

If you would like to have your pooch's picture added to the gallery please send them to jackie.meyers@southernhighlandnews.com.au
