A WREXHAM business has come up with the paw-fect way to celebrate Wrexham AFC's league promotion.
The football club, co-owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, clinched promotion from Sky Bet League Two to Sky Bet League One, marking a historic achievement for them.
To commemorate this milestone, football fan and owner of Beastly Thoughts Professional Dog Services (BTPDS) asked her clients to show their support in the only way dog owners know.

In a heart-warming display of community spirit, the BTPDS dog owners, as part of the celebration, have been invited to submit photos of their dogs supporting Wrexham AFC, showcasing the bond between the club and its dedicated fanbase.
Karen said: "We thought it would be a really nice idea to join in with the celebrations.
"I am an avid football follower myself, and I know football success like this has the power to bring people together, and seeing owners having fun with their beloved pets in celebration of the promotion is just great.
"Dogs like Bryn the flat-coated retriever, owned by Karen, and Parker the labradoodle, owned by Becky and Craig, donned scarves to show their support.
"Little Andi, the Jack Russel owned by Katy, went even further though and got dressed up in a Wrexham t-shirt to show her support.
"But in truth, most of the dogs just wanted the footballs, and our owners were quick to also point out to me that new footballs don't always stay inflated very long with some of the dogs. Bea, the collie owned by Karen and Gary, doesn't hold back!"
The dogs posing to show their support for Wrexham FC and their success have all come through the courses and sessions that Beastly Thoughts Professional Dog Services run in the Wrexham area throughout the year.
Karen has been helping families and their pets for more than 20 years, and Beastly Thoughts Professional Dog Service, based in Froncysyllte, was established in the Wrexham/Oswestry area in 2007. Last year alone they trained almost 200 puppies and worked with approximately 100 reactive dogs.
