We have received almost 30 pet photos from around Oakham and Rutland, including horses in Christmas harnesses, kittens hiding inside a Christmas tree and dogs wrapped in tinsel. It was a herculean task narrowing it down to our top 3 photos and, in the festive spirit, have included a montage of all entries so you can enjoy them!

Our winner this year is Fig the German Pointer, sent in by Catherine James!
