Four-legged friends have been tasked with a range of roles at weddings but the latest trend could be videographer!

Newly married couple Kim and Chris went the extra mile to ensure their beloved Labrador was part of their big day.

So much so, they mounted a GoPro to his back and let him capture the events unfold.

The timelapse video follows the exploits of Jack as he greets wedding guests, bounds down the aisle, and even gets his photo taken with the happy couple in their vintage wedding car.

The video, shared on YouTube, is a great way to shoot a wedding from a rather unique – albeit shaky – point of view.

And, as latest research has found, 50% of couples have included their pets in their wedding day.

A study conducted by pet sitting specialists Pawshake also found that 17% gave their four-legged friend a special role within the celebration including the likes of ring bearer and best man.

Pawshake co-founder Tanguy Peers said: “Pets are becoming more and more part of the family, so it’s not surprising to see that we are now involving them in one of the most important days of our lives – our wedding.”
