AS residents woke up to a blanket of snow in North Wales last week, many people could not wait to get out in it.

From snowball fights to building snowmen, it was a much-needed light-hearted relief during these unprecedented times.

But it wasn't just people who enjoyed the snow, many dogs were also keen to make their mark outside.

Karen Boyce, who runs Beastly Thoughts Professional Dog Service, said she started a thread on Facebook asking for dog pictures in the snow, and she was inundated with responses.

Pups were pictured playing happily across Wrexham, which cheered Karen up who was 'snowed in' at Froncysyllte hill.

She said: "As I couldn’t go out and my Internet is not good enough for proper work I, in a moment, of madness started a thread on my Facebook business page asking for snowy dog pics.

"Almost seventy pictures later I have a lovely collection, I didn’t realise it would be so popular."

In 2020, Karen worked with 200 puppies and their families.
