El concurso “Comedy Pet Photo Awards” dio a conocer cuales son las fotos finalistas de este año. En total son 25 los participantes que buscan quedarse con el afamado premio que se entrega anualmente.
El evento, que busca elegir la foto mas divertida del año, surgió gracias a la idea de Paul Joynson-Hicks y Tom Sullam. Los fotógrafos profesionales destacan y celebran el rol terapeutico de los animales a traves de la competencia.
A partir de ahora comienza la decisión final con la elección de la mejor foto del año. La responsabilidad estará en parte con los lectores de la web, que podrán votar de forma online, y por un jurado compuesto por cuatro personalidades del mundo.

Title: Barking!
Description: 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!
