We put a call out on the Shields Gazette Facebook page to those who have adopted a pet during lockdown or welcomed a new four-legged friend into their family since the pandemic began. The pictures we received certainly brought big smiles to our faces, so we’re hoping to share some of that positivity today with you today through our round-up. Here are 20 sweet photographs of your pets, and how they’ve changed your lives in lockdown.
