THE weekend saw one of the cutest days of the year, International Dog Day.
The day of celebration (August 26) is a chance to celebrate the love, loyalty and companionship that dogs bring to our lives.
We asked Leader readers to share a photo of their pooch, and the response proved we really are a nation of animal lovers.
To see the hundreds of photos shared, visit the Leader Live Facebook page.
Here are just some of the good boys and girls who are part of the family for many across Flintshire and Wrexham...
