Rescue dogs are some of the most amazing friends a person can have and you have shown us just some of the most beautiful of all.

National Rescue Dog Day is this week so we wanted to celebrate the joy, loyalty and unconditional love a rescue dog can bring.

Many of you have opened your heart and home to a rescue dog, and here we have shared some of your beautiful dogs and why your pet is so special.

Here are some of your photos.
