HERE they are! The wait is over for our dog owners to show off their prize pooches.

We asked our readers to send in their pictures of their cute collies and loveable labradors..

On social media, we asked our readers to send in their photographs of 'man's best friend' so here they are ranging from Henry from Blackburn enjoying an ice-cream to Winston also from Blackburn having a dummy.

There are photographs from across East Lancashire so check them out on our online gallery and if you want to see your dog featured then email them to robert.kelly@nqnw.co.uk.
