Has your dog been keeping you company during the pandemic? A resounding woof!

American humourist Josh Billingssaid,"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself."

We heard that sentiment ring trueon the April 24 episode of CBC Radio's CrossTalk,as host Ramona Dearing invited dog trainer Glenn Redmond to join her to discuss our canine friends specifically how they're helping to keep us company during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Redmond saidhis dog, Finn, "cheers me up always."

We also saw thehundreds of photos that our audience posted to the CBC Newfoundland and Labrador Facebook page, of their beloved pets sowe thought it would be fun to highlight some of those sweet images in a gallery.

One of the predominant themes that came up on theshow was the loneliness factor. Some listeners had rescued or adopted an animal, pre-pandemic, and were thankful they did.

Redmond said fostering or adopting an older dog is an area that's often overlooked, where "good things" can happen.
