    Oxfordshire dogs are proving keen to join their owners at the polling stations for the local elections today.

    Furry friends of all breeds and ages have been up since before 07:00 when stations across the county opened, basking in the sun or waiting impatiently while humans cast their votes.

    While Ruby the Cocker Spaniel is a seasoned poll station companion, it was a first for 12-week-old standard Poodle Jude, who diligently posed for a snap outside.

    All 69 seats on Oxfordshire County Council are up for election and various district council by-elections across the county are also taking place.
