Friday August 26 officially marks National Dog Day in the UK, a whole day set aside to celebrate our furry four-legged friends and encourage people to adopt rescue dogs like Little Mo the Jack Russell .

And it's a great excuse - as if we really needed one - to feature pictures of your adorable west London pooches.

So far we've had grinning terriers, cute Chihuahuas, naughty Jack Russells, rescued dogs, and pups very old and just newborn.

In order to celebrate the day, why not give your dog a few extra treats and sausages, dress them up in some silly clothes or just give them plenty of extra cuddles.
