LONDON -- Millions of people came to vote in the general election Thursday, and many of them brought pets.
#DogsAtPollingStations started trending on Twitter, but it wasn't just canines that made the effort. A lamb was spotted at Ed Miliband's station early in the day while cats and ferrets and a horse or two have joined the menagerie.
Across the nation it was a case of two legs good, four legs better.
Here are some of the dogs.

Took my dog George to the polling station. I think people were more interested in him than actually voting pic.twitter.com/chaLBUDZKg— Arran Cross (@Arran_Cross) May 7, 2015

Inspired by #DogsAtPollingStations I'm off to vote. The ferret has chosen who I vote for by choice of toy. pic.twitter.com/Z2ZjNqwGL6— Will Black (@WillBlackWriter) May 7, 2015
One dog, meanwhile, didn't get the memo and was more concerned with hi-jacking that recent 'beach body' campaign.
