TODAY we say hello to five of your loveable, furry friends as we put them in the spotlight.

Our furry and feathered friends have provided company, love and entertainment throughout the pandemic, and we're delighted to showcase them in this lovely line-up.

As we continue to spend time at home due to Covid-19 restrictions, our pets are certainly enjoying having us around and your pictures show them making the most of every moment spent together.

Taz

Angela Gurd sent us a picture of her rescue dog Taz, five, who she rescued when he was only six months old.

Mavis & Donald

Two members of a pug family are included in this line-up, with owner Vicki Travers sharing "cheeky" Mavis and pug cross cavalier Donald with us.

Vicki said: "Mavis is five years old. She loves to sleep, play, with humans and lick everyone as much as possible. Mavis also likes watching football and war films.

"Donald (also five) is full of energy, loves a belly rub and likes to catch his tail. He is very vocal and can almost howl 'I want my mumma'.

"He loves his toys and often falls asleep sucking on his teddy."

Prince

We also say hello to Spanish Greyhound Prince who has been with his owner Gilly Smith since 2018.

Gilly said: "Although he was an extremely anxious dog who had never experienced a comfortable bed, loving owners or the British weather, Prince has settled into his new home and has become one of the most loyal, loving pets I have ever shared my life with.

"Prince loves the beaches where he can stretch his long legs, but mostly he enjoys the comfort of 'big bed' where he regularly chills out and forgets about his rough start in life."

Basil

Finally, Emma Ravenhill shared a photo of her cat Basil who loves bird watching.
