Whether helping you work from home or getting extra walkies while you have more time on your hands, Dorset's pets are loving lockdown.

And readers are loving seeing their cute faces and hearing about their amusing antics.

Toy Poodle Marlow, 5 , loves long lockdown walks to the beach, playing in the sand with his little tennis or golf ball.

"His tail just wiggles constantly and he likes to get a stick and carry it home with pride", says Rubina Hawkins.

Horse Dickens is a handsome boy- full of character. Owner Harriet Evans says he :"loves pulling faces to entertain those around him but can look very handsome when he needs to. He is a cheeky boy and will take any opportunity to pinch a tasty apple from your pocket. He also loves homemade treats! He gets on well with Nelly the spaniel and Jack the Labrador. "

Donna Millman in Bournemouth says "Teddy's favourite thing is sausages, closely followed by the beach. The best thing about lockdown is having us humans around all day to give him attention!"

Sally Lovelock's puppy Benji in Bournemouth is, she says, a "little pickle".

" This morning he's been playing with cardboard from kitchen roll for a good hour. As my mum would say it's clean dirt. Gave us chance to drink our coffee in peace...He definitely needs his first spa day!"

Labrador Scrumpy,9, loves walking on Bournemouth beach but Victoria Grey says "she has travelled Europe with me in my motorhome and is the best guard dog. Even though the wind frightens her, the postman has never got in! She loves giving high fives and gazing at herself in the mirror

"She's getting a bit stiff in her old age and arthritis will likely come soon. As a pup she ate all my shoes, two sofas and a washing machine! Be prepared because labradors are hungry!"
