While thousands have been affected by the ‘Beast from the East’ as the cold snap grips the capital there are others who appear undeterred.

At Battersea Dogs and Cats Home the weather is being taken full advantage of by Staffordshire bull terrier Bonnie, malamute Messi, and fellow malamute Oakley today (February 28).

You can see how they got on by clicking the images in our small gallery, which also includes greyhound Venus and mongrel Foxy.

The canines appear to be enjoying the snow while the conditions are expected to continue for some time this week.
