A dog day care centre near Kenilworth is celebrating the Christmas season in a unique way by creating an adorable nativity scene featuring its furry guests.

Doggy Mad Day Care in Honiley has been dressing up the dogs that visit the centre, along with a resident pony, and organising them into festive nativity arrangements.

Owner Louise Oliver has been running the day care for seven years and has been creating these creative Christmas setups for the last four, having been inspired by the film Nativity.

This year's effort is particularly impressive, with 12 dogs dressed up as characters from the nativity as well as the inclusion of her pony.

The nativity scenes have delighted viewers online, with one person commenting on Facebook: “Awww love the bored yawn at the back! There’s a kid in every nativity like that.”

Another added: “Love this, look forward to seeing it each year now! What good boys and girls.”

Louise plans to post a new nativity scene every evening in the lead-up to Christmas Day.
