Following National Rescue Dog Day (May 20), we’re celebrating the joy, loyalty and unconditional love a rescue dog can bring.

We asked Newtownabbey readers who’ve opened their hearts and homes to a rescue dog to share their photos with us and let us know what makes their pet so special.

Erin Weatherstone writes: "This is our rescue collie Luna. She’s such a loveable pup if still a little reactive to visitors."

Amanda Leonard: "This is my little cockapoo Luna. We rescued her in February this year after she was beaten and abandoned. She's such a lovable little minx. I always adopt. She just adores the dog park in Valley Park."
