Scottish sports event, Scottish Terriers ... it's so simple.
The Commonwealth Games are in Glasgow this year, and to give the opening ceremonies a Scottish flair, the hosts made a fantastic decision: DOGGIES.
Participants marched out with Scottish Terriers bearing the names of each of their nations:
