More than 100 people and their pets, including dogs and a tortoise, attended a Christmas carol service for pets on Sunday.
The Reverend Chris Colledge led the carol service at at St Ambrose Church in Bournemouth, which was organised to give thanks for pets and animals at Christmas, as well as to remember treasured pets which have passed away.
Mr Colledge said that recently he lost his own pet, Maisie the dog, after she died aged just six and he also reflected on the saying that “‘A house is not a home without a pet in it”.
He added: “We are thanking God for all our pets at Christmas.”
Animal lovers also had the chance to light candles and reflect on the pets that they miss and joined in with a number of carols including Little Donkey.
