Although Valentine's Day is usually a day to celebrate love, for the recently scorned it can be a more bitter affair.

That's why an animal shelter is offering people the chance to get one back at an ex by naming a litter tray after them.

Then when February 14 rolls around, the scorned can rest easy knowing there are animals doing number twos over something named after their old lovers.

The opportunity comes from Animal Friends Humane Society, an animal shelter based in Hamilton, Ohio, US.

Beyond helping people get back at their exes, their mission statement, according to their website, is "to promote humane principles, to protect lost, homeless, abandoned and mistreated animals, and to act as advocates for animals in our communities."

Furthering this, they launched the litter-tray naming service. People taking up the offer are expected to donate $5 (£4.10).

The advert on their website exclaims: "Don’t spend this Valentine's Day down in the dumps!

"Instead, cheer yourself up while making a difference for animals in need!"

It continues: "For a $5 donation we will write your Ex’s name in a litterbox and give it to the cats, to let them do what they do best!"

The offer is open until February 12.

The shelter have also promised they will post a video on Facebook showcasing all the names they receive, in the litterboxes.

People hoping to take up the offer should either make the donation through Venmo or stop by the shelter in person.

In other animal news, the record for the world's oldest dog has just been beaten.

The OAP pooch, Bobi, has been verified as the oldest dog in history.

Bobi, who was born on 11 May 1992, is 30 years 267 days old - beating chihuahua Spike who was announced the eldest just two weeks ago.

Bobi is a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, a breed of livestock guardian dog, and has miraculously doubled the average life expectancy of 12-14 years.

According to the Guinness World Records, Bobi has lived his entire life with the Costa family in the rural village of Conqueiros, in Leiria, Portugal.

Australian cattle dog Bluey was previously the oldest dog to ever exist, and lived to be 29 years and five months old.

Bobi's birth date and age has been verified by SIAC, a Portuguese pet database, and the Veterinary Medical Service of the Municipality of Leiria.
