And we are keen to get into the spirit of the occasion by sharing these nostalgic photos of dogs enjoying days out in Hartlepool.
Were you pictured with your pooch at the annual Bulldog Day event at Rossmere, or how about the Dogs Day Out which is held each year by Alice House Hospice?
We’ve got lots of great pictures dogs and their owners. Can you spot anyone you know?
