Give a warm welcome to Teddy the shih tzu, Milo the ginger cat, Dobby the French bulldog, Bob the boxer cross German shepherd and Gary the leopard tortoise.

Teddy the shih tzu from Ferndown loves walking, playing with his toys and running through the snow at Christmas. His owner Jennifer Carpenter loves his cuteness and cheekiness.

Milo the ginger cat is pictured under the Christmas tree. His owner Annabelle Waine said Milo loves to play, he was a nervous five month rescue when she got him and he is now a wonderful cheeky energetic boy who makes the whole family laugh and spreads so much happiness.

Emma-Louise Allen from Poole introduced us to Dobby the French bulldog wearing his santa outfit. Dobby likes doing zoomies around the front room and having a good chew on a bone. Emma's favourite thing about him is 'his awesome character'.

Bob the boxer cross German Shepard is pictured in his Christmas jumper, his owner Jack Kewley says he likes nothing more than burying things in the garden.

Last but not least, we introduce Gary the leopard tortoise from Bournemouth, wearing his festive bows. Gary is very nosy and his owner Kerry Curwen loves his attitude and how quick he is.
