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.
