Need some light relief? Here are some of our favourite dogs photographed in IMAGE Interiors

The IMAGE Interiors team often have a tough time on shoots … hanging out with pampered pooches. We thought it was only fair to look back over the magazine and share them with you.

The IMAGE Interiors team have gone a bit doggy-mad recently. With two new dog owners to add to the pack, we’ve been talking about puppy cuddles, needy dogs, indestructible dog beds, but mostly about how brilliant they are.

We also realised just how many dogs we’ve photographed and featured in the pages of the magazine. On shoot days, they have a knack for spotting that the recently plumped sofa would make for an excellent napping spot and might throw some extra side-eye to the camera, or they’ll see a crew of people standing around their home just dying to throw a ball for them. I mean, why else would they be here?

So we decided to dive into the archive to find all the dogs we’ve featured lately, so you too can bask in all their slobbery affection. In no particular order, we present the dogs of IMAGE Interiors.
