Readers shared pictures of their beloved pet dogs, of all breeds and sizes, to mark National Mutt Day.
National Mutt Day, sometimes called National Mixed Breed Dog Day, is dedicated to raising awareness of the enormous number of mixed-breed dogs in need of homes.
A mutt refers to a dog whose ancestry includes more than one breed, often with an unknown or untraceable mix. These dogs make up a large share of the animals living in shelters, and they are frequently overlooked in favour of pedigree puppies.
