24 Finalists From The Comedy Pet Awards 2023 That Made People Crack Up

'Alex is the shy one. Max is the playful one. Together they form a lethally cute duo. I had more fun taking photos of these two than during my most adventurous wildlife photography trips'

'Our cat Lilly played with a mouse, we saved the mouse and our dog Amy was fascinated by the mouse'

'Big Boss is the Boss around here. He is gentle and kindness just big'

'Perfect landing pose, right?'

'Shadow was digging holes as normal at the beach, when all of a sudden he was showing off his new technique! Luckily the camera was at the ready for this crazy position!'

'In March 2019 I was sat in the Union Sq New York dog run when I spotted a lady with a pink bag on her hand ( to keep her hand clean) throwing a ball to her dog which was sat down facing her. The dog then launched itself and flipped in mid air to face me and snap! As you can see the lady with her hand on her head was as surprised as me and I think she is saying phew! I have searched in vain via the NY media to find the owner so that I can send her a copy. No joy so I am hoping this Pet Comedy competition can help me find the mystery woman and her leaping dog. You never know!'

'We tried to get a dreamy autumn photo of Milo - instead of lying a bit on his side he rolled around like crazy. His family loves this shot because it shows his personality better than any other picture'

'Two sisters from different litters: self-confident Crystal and cute baby Daisy'

'He sticked out his tongue at me as famous Einstein's photo'

'He seems to pop out of the autumn leaves, doesn't he?'

'Tiny happy ferret Boudicca (only 2,5 month old!) enjoys her first outdoor walk'

'The pressure of football and waiting for free kick'

'Beautiful Edgar's favourite food are the leaves and flowers of dandelions. Here she is seen taking her time to savour the flavour'

'I couldn't get past this couple!'

'There's a hiding place under the sofa where Louis (the dog) likes to hide, that day I took his tennis ball from "his place", he got angry and put his head out through the hole barking asking for his ball back, that's when he turned into this angry seal, and I decided to register the moment'

'Misty the spaniel desperately wanted to play with Nala, the dignified older lady of the menagerie. She wasn't that keen, fortunately Misty was pretty terrible at hide and seek'

'We ware playing with our cat named Bidule, with a ballpaper !'

'Yes, his name is Oscar. He is an Afghan greyhound and is very pleased with himself'

'This is Barney our toy poodle, caught mid-flight whilst running'

'Karin and her two dogs. Don't they all look almost the same?'

'Bobby reaching for the ball against a beautiful sunset. We were taking photos of Bobby as the sun was quickly setting and disappearing behind the hill. I was changing the setting on my camera, to keep the detail on a black dog against a nice sky and soon realised, just go with the simple option and shoot him as a silhouette'

'The avenger of the poor is back, but this time as a dog and not on a horse, but in a car! The obligatory black mask is a must, of course'

'Kylian could not sleep in another bed. Maybe he dreamt of jungle'
