Do we need excuses for talking about too cute animals? No, even if the covid context gives us cravings for purring therapy and photos of patounes. That's good, on Tuesday, November 24, 2020, the competition "The 2020 Mars Petcare Comedy Pet Photographer of the Year" unveiled its winners, as well as its big winner. The award-winning photographer Elke Vogelsang with a shot named "Guard Dog on Duty". Known for her clichés of a little crazy animals, this time she was unanimous with this adorable doggie who sticks out his tongue.

The competition "The 2020 Mars Petcare Comedy Pet Photographer of the Year", it is also an operation organized for a good cause. Indeed, it aims above all to raise awareness about the situation of homeless animals in the United Kingdom, by supporting the association Blue Cross. Accommodation of pets, treatment and veterinary care are the priorities of this committed association.

Many of the photographs caught the eye of the jury. Among the finalists vying to win the competition, here are the ones we prefer. Dogs who grimace, cats who make incredible jumps … We warn you, guaranteed laughter!
