#Dogsatpollingstations
One of the highlights of polling day is the flurry of cute dog pictures on social media.
Voters have already been busy posting snaps of their furry friends accompanying them to the ballot box. These are just a few so far.
If you do take your pooch, remember you will most likely have to leave it outside while you cast your ballot, unless it is an assistance dog.
Here is Boswell, being a very good boy, outside a station in Birmingham.
If Boswell isn't enough you can see more pooches at polling stations here.

Quote Message: They said Pele, so that was it. It made my mind up straight away before any contracts were signed. The fact that I could play alongside this guy, I couldn't turn it down. He was such a warm guy and with a massive smile... To actually be playing with him and seeing him every day of the week and getting to know him and his style of play, which is unbelievable, he was just a great person to be around." from Steve Hunt Former New York Cosmos winger
