Pampered pooches strut their stuff at Crufts

The annual Crufts dog show turned into something of a catwalk contest as pampered pets arrived in rain coats, their paws clad in winter boots.

More than 27,000 animals were expected to descend on Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre for the annual show — with many donning the latest in canine wet-weather fashion.

While some turned out in nose-to-tail waterproofs, others arrived wrapped in blankets and in one case, even sporting a snood.
