Is Your Pet a Poser?
Vet charity PDSA has launched a national photo competition to discover the UK’s top pet posers.

Two look-alike categories form part of this year’s competition in addition to the usual ‘cutest pet’ prize. So if your dog is the doppelganger of your Dad, or your cat is the spit of a celeb, then you could be a winner.
 
“We’re searching for photos that capture a pet’s likeness to a famous face or its owner,” said PDSA spokesperson, Lisa Nickless.  “We also have a posing pet category, for those four-legged friends who just love showing off in front of the lens.”
 
Enter your pictures into PDSA’s annual Pets Gallery competition either online at www.pdsa.org.uk/petsgallery or call into one of PDSA’s stores to pick up an entry form.
 
Competition entrants are invited to make a minimum £1 donation to help PDSA in its work to care for sick and injured pets. The charity has seen a 20 percent increase in demand for its services since the recession, stretching the available resources, so every donation will make a difference.
 
The closing date is Friday 30 July 2010. Competition winners will be announced in September.
