Leeds shoppers enjoy a cuddle with the city's cutest pooches at Valentine's Day experience

The Puppy Love 'pup-up' event launched at Victoria Leeds for one day only bringing Leeds' cutest dogs to spread the love.

The free event was held in partnership with Guide Dogs Leeds, the shopping centre's charity partner.

The charity helps blind and partially sighted people across the UK through the provision of guide dogs, mobility and other rehabilitation services.

Shoppers were encouraged to make a small donation to enter the Puppy Love pen, which was complete with grass, a white picket fence and deck chairs.

The pooches spent the afternoon enjoying cuddles from shoppers and meeting friendly locals, adding a little love and raising the spirits of shoppers on the most romantic day of the year.
