A mischievous, curious hen from Ireland, a (very long) cow from Italy, a dog called Lucy who loves boating in the USA, and a cat called Jeff who teases her little brother Jaffa. No, we’re not talking about the latest Disney movie, but about the gallery of finalists for the 2021 Comedy Pet Photo Awards, which honors those who manage to capture the funniest sides of our animal friends.

This worldwide photo competition was created by Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam to recognize the positive and important role pets can play in our lives. The aim is to promote and raise awareness of animal welfare in general by supporting a different charity each year.
This year’s competition will donate £10,000 (12630.50 Swiss Francs) to Animal Support Angels, an organization that helps pets and their owners by providing food, shelter, warmth, veterinary care and rehoming.
