Dogs at polling stations is a thing, and it’s awesome

It’s an important day for the UK as the people go to the polls in the 2015 General Election.

But there are some four-legged friends trying to make their mark on the political landscape too.

#DogsAtPollingStations is trending on Twitter, and it’s awesome.

Yes, dogs have been turning out to vote too. But FYI, dogs can’t vote. Unfortunately for this lot…
