Thousands of dogs had their day at a special canine-themed event.
More than 8,000 people and their dogs turned out for the Essex Dog Day at Crix, Hatfield Peverel, on Sunday.
The puppy-packed show saw families enjoying plenty of doggy-inspired activities and competitions, including best puppy, best breed, waggiest tail and dog-most-like-its-owner.
