Andy Murray's Olympic medals have gone to the dogs – his border terriers, Maggie May and Rusty!

The Scottish tennis star, who won the Olympic singles gold medal after beating Roger Federer, and the silver medal in mixed doubles, has let his pups feel some of the glory by letting them wear his medals.

"Here we go folks ... Just checking to make sure Rusty definitely has the silver, obviously," reads the caption of a photo posted to Maggie May's Twitter page, which is reportedly updated by Murray's girlfriend, Kim Sears.

Andy Murray Defeats Roger Federer to Win Olympic Gold

Tennis player Andy Murray won Olympic gold (and revenge!) Sunday when he unseated world champion, Roger Federer, who beat him at Wimbledon last month.

After four losses (three to Federer) in the Grand Slam finals, Murray surprised spectators when he defeated Federer 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 to win the men's single finals at the Summer Games.

"The atmosphere was unbelievable," Murray, who is Scottish, said of the crown in London. "They helped me get a few extra miles an hour on the last couple of serves, that's for sure. The adrenaline was pumping. I went for some big serves and got them. To be fair the whole week they've been amazing."

Federer won the silver medal for Switzerland while Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina was awarded bronze.
