In a bid to celebrate the joy our pet dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs and reptiles bring to our lives we have launched Pets of the Week.

This is a dedicated space to nominate your four-legged friends or your cold blooded reptiles for the coveted title of The Mail’s Pet of the Week.

Vanessa Sims, The Mail’s editor, said: “There are very few things man loves more than his pets.

“Here at The Mail we are as passionate as you are about them. So let’s celebrate the together!”
