We all know dogs are our best friends and when it comes to the man and woman on the land they are more than best mates, they are often the best workers too.
They work with a smile on their face from dust to dawn right beside their best two-legged mate, happy to lend a hand rounding up the stock or moving them through the yards.
So in light on International Dog Day last week we asked you, on Facebook and Instagram, to share your favourite pooch pics with us and you answered in big numbers!
Proving that not only is a dog a person's best friend - the furry companion is perhaps also our favourite photographic subject.
Above is the gallery of our readers photos. We hope you enjoy these gorgeous doggo faces, they are each a reason to celebrate dogs on the land.
