Reader photo of the day: Kelly the dog begs for treats with her own plate

We love submitter laura2525’s photo of her dog, Kelly, an unabashed beggar (but so cute while doing it that we’re sure her owner doesn’t mind). ‘My dog will pick up paper plates and carry them around until someone puts a treat on them for her,’ explains laura2525. Sounds like Kelly’s onto a pretty irresistible technique; we just hope our own dogs never learn her secret!

To share your photos with us, just head to the Pets & Animals category of Your Scene, The Times’ photo-sharing site. Select the appropriate album (for instance, we found laura2525’s photo in the Best Mutts album), click the ‘submit’ link at the top of the page, choose your photo (.jpg format) and include a caption that tells us a bit about the animal you’ve photographed.
