From a puppy with cat flap trouble to a cat who aspires to be Tarzan, the winners of this year’s Comedy Pet Photo Awards do not disappoint.
Los Comedy Pet Photo Awards have awarded their most important awards of the year, and the results of the fifth edition will either make you laugh or make you faint, sometimes simultaneously.
Created by professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam, these awards aim to “highlight the positive and vital role that pets have in our lives and encourage commitment to animal welfare.
Six judges determined the winner of the best overall photo based on the “technical excellence” and the “fun content and captions.” This year, a dog trying to sneak through a small cat flap won first prize. Sarah Haskell’s photo titled ‘Not Just for Cats’ faced stiff competition, but emerged victorious.
