Husky owner makes viewing holes in fence for inquisitive dogs
These funny pictures show four huskies poking eyes and noses through their owner's gate - using holes he made for them to watch the world go by.
The curious Siberian huskies have become quite an attraction peering out at passers-by in their hometown of St Neots, Cambs.
Their eyes and noses are often seen all in a row - looking out the little 'Mickey Mouse' holes at the bottom of the gates.
Owner Andy Grannell, 57, said he drilled the holes into the gates not long after he and his fiancee, Maxine Adamson, moved into the house in 2014.
He said: "Initially when we bought the house, there were no gates - but we needed gates there because of the dogs.
"We had the big gates put in, but then we noticed that the dogs would poke their noses out the gap at the bottom of the gates, to try and catch a glimpse outside.
"They're quite nosey and inquisitive and they like to see what's going on when they hear noise outside the gates.
"So I thought, rather than making them crick their necks to peer under the gates, I thought it would be quite nice for them to be able to look out from their normal heights."
So Andy set about drilling the holes for his five Siberian huskies - 12-year-olds Amber, Topaz and Talon, and three-year-olds Rocky and Vinnie.
He said: "I actually have five dogs - but the reason there's only holes for four of them is because Amber is quite deaf now.
"So she doesn't tend to get up and run to the gates like the others do when they hear sounds outside.
"But they all love the attention they get from passers-by who see them poking their noses and eyes out of the holes.
"I think quite a lot of people recognise them because I'm often seen walking around St Neots with them all strapped to my waist - which is quite an unusual sight.
"I like seeing the posts appear on Facebook from people who have spotted my dogs peering out through the gates."
