OUR pets have enjoyed extensive periods of time with their owners due to the coronavirus pandemic - with some of them being incredibly cheeky.

The Covid-19 outbreak has resulted in us all having to remain in our homes for longer than usual. While that has been difficult for some of us, our pets have loved being spoilt with more treats.

As these photos show, some of your cats and dogs have been stopping you leaving the house and working from home.

If you would like to see your pet featured in our pages, simply complete our online form.
