Every year, pet owners from all over the world compete to see who can take the silliest picture of their furry friends.

The 2024 Comedy Pet Photo Award finalists have just been announced, and there are some crackers!

We've got a selection of them for you here, but which one do you think should win the crown?

Let us know in the comments below!

Dancing Queen

This dog from Germany has got some seriously paw-some moves!

Strictly Come Prancing!

Cat in a trap like Super Mario

We hope this lil' fella got some help after the photo was taken!

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting

This dog in Switzerland is either doing some serious martial arts training or having an absolute blast in the snow.

Or maybe it's both!

On a roll...

The photo is called 'Hard Workers' but what do you think these cats are hard at work doing?

Causing trouble, no doubt.

What am I thinking?

I know what I'm thinking - where has this horse's head gone?!

Tired Donkey

The competition covers a whole spectrum of emotions - this donkey was captured mid-yawn by its owner, which might explain the title 'Tired Donkey'.

But maybe it's laughing at a joke told by one of its stablemates?

Tarzan

More king of the curtains than king of the jungle.

This cat in Japan got caught mid-swing by its owner.

Grumpy Dog

Does he look grumpy, or up to something?

Lets face it, it's probably both!

New Rose

Her favourites are dandelions in the spring, but here you can see her chomping away on Gertrude Jekyll rose - delicious!

Talk about a face full of mischief.

I believe I can fly

This Irish Poodle hasn't quite sprouted wings but its owner did manage to catch it soaring through the air.

Those eyes show how much it's focussed on having a great time.
