Pets are very special for lots of you, and many of us consider our beloved animals as members of the family.

National Love Your Pet Day is a good day to set aside some extra time for your pet and show them just how much they mean to you.

Whether that means an extra long walk, a special treat, or just a really good belly rub - today is their day.

To celebrate, we want to hear your stories of how important your animals are to you and what you love about them.

Have they been there for you when you needed some support? Are they a great listener? Or are they just super cute?

Whether they're a dog, cat, rabbit, goldfish, tortoise or anything else - let us know in the comments below.
