DOG owners have been seeing a lot more of their pets during the coronavirus lockdown.

Readers on our Facebook page have sent us pictures, together with contributions from other readers and we hope to feature more of them soon.

It added that owners should avoid group dog walks and use gardens if available, while households of people, if not self-isolating, could take turns taking a dog out.
