Fur-bulous Pictures! Here Are The Winners of 2021 Dog Photography Awards

If there is one thing that we can all agree on, it’s that puppies are just the cutest! Their adorable little faces bring endless amounts of joy, don’t you think?

The 2021 Dog Photography Awards is split into three categories, accepting entries for studio snaps, action shots and outdoor landscapes and portraits. A pug perching on kitchen scales, a beagle posing in front of his own portrait and a very energetic border collie are among the winners of the 2021 Dog Photography Awards.
