Pets of the North East have been decked out in their festive finery for weeks – so much so, that we’re on our third picture special for this year’s Santa Paws.
We asked the readers to share their festive pet pictures and these cracking costumes did not disappoint.
Your four-legged friends have been spreading some Christmas cheer in their jumpers and hats.
Don’t worry if we have not featured your picture yet. We have been inundated with photographs from our brilliant readers – and we will use as many as possible online or in print before the festive season is over.
