One of the best parts of voting day is, of course, the social media trend, #DogsAtPollingStations. We’ve trawled through Twitter to find our favourite five best-friends.

5. Danny the Greyhound

Belinda’s greyhound Danny looked bemused by the idea of democratic freedoms. We had to include him on the list due to his handler’s fetching footwear.

4. Pablo the Bulldog

Pablo’s steely gaze, looking directly towards the polling station, demonstrates his ability in front of the camera. Fantastic work, boy.

3. Baxter the Pointer

This dude’s eyes make him look utterly bored with the whole thing. Though this is a message we can’t take a view on, we can certainly say he looks properly cute!

2. Lily the Cocker Spaniel

Lily’s long and wavy locks more than make up for the uninterested expression. Jazzy lead as well. She can have second place.

1. Ava the Dachshund

Lil’ Ava looks teeny-tiny in front of the ‘POLLING STATION’ sign. And well-trained, too, with no one holding her lead. For these reasons, she must make the top of our list.

Thank you to all the wonderful owners of these best-in-class pups!
