THEY are the three kings who have been treated like royalty this festive season.

Dogs Murphy, Ralf and Gerry have been showered with Christmas gifts.

Now their owners Lorraine and Paul Finch have entered them into the Daily Echo’s festive pets competition.

After a bumper festive season the pooches are looking forward to a New Year’s Day walk near their home in Bitterne, Southampton.

Before then they have gathered around the family Christmas tree wearing a woolly jumper, Christmas pudding costume and jester outfit respectively.

Mr Finch said: “They probably had more Christmas presents than the rest of us put together!

“They’ve had toys and treats and a Christmas dinner each with turkey, beef and vegetables.

Daily Echo:

Puppy Bo Loe (above) looks like he could be going out to a New Year’s Eve party in his fancy outfit. The 11-month-old Dogue de Bordeaux is wearing a lion’s mane with an elf hat and bow tie.

Owner Kate Barnes, 27, has made the iconic image into a Christmas card and added: “He definitely turns a lot of heads when we go out on walks and he looks like a lion from the back.”

Meanwhile pooch Keisha (above) from Sholing is snuggling up from the cold in a Santa hat provided by owner Andy Noice.
