    These Cute Dogs Stole The Show At The Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony

    DOGS!

    Every nation was led out at the Glasgow ceremony by a Scottish Terrier.

    It was all everyone was talking about.

    Some of the dogs didn't want to walk all the way and had to be carried.

    But everyone agreed it was a wonderful touch by the organisers.

    CUTE!

    Here is the man of the night for me, lucky enough to meet him on Monday....Hamish!! #CommonwealthGames #TeamScotland

    It was undoubtedly the highlight of the opening ceremony.

    Scotty dogs lead in each team. Whoever though of that deserves a treat.

    What a great touch, for each team to be led into the arena by Scottie dogs. #Glasgow2014

    It would seem the #CommonwealthGames #ScottieDogs are stealing the show. Here's a peak of team #Scotland chaperone!

    They should just have had loads of pipes and dogs, for ages.

    ..I could just watch these wee dogs strutting their stuff for the duration of the Commonwealth Games.

    Gotta love the dogs! #openingceremony

    Not sure how I managed to smuggle this out @kellymassey400 #Glasgow2014

    Best bits so far have been the three-drinks-in-melancholy-singalongs. And the dogs.

    Nice touch with the dogs but the #Tunnocks have taken the biscuit #openingceremony

    Tomorrow evening's walk is going to be quite a let-down for these dogs.

    Scottie dogs... Love it. #CommonwealthGames #Glasgow2014

    What I want to know is where did they abduct so many Scottie dogs from? #Glasgow2014

    There was some suggestion the dogs may have been used multiple time for different nations...

    Is it the same Scotty dog going round & round, with a quick change of jacket - or do they have a lot of black dogs lined up out the back?

    EXCLUSIVE: I can reveal the Scottie dogs are being recycled. I repeat, they ARE being recycled backstage. #CommonwealthGames #cantfoolme

    But who cares, it was a great twist to the opening ceremony.
