After hosting a successful dog photography contest in 2021, the Dog Photography Awards have returned with another incredible competition. This year, the winners were divided into four categories: Action, Portrait and Landscape, Dogs and People, and Studio. The first, second, and third place winners of each category were awarded.
There were over 1,400 entries from 50 different countries, so choosing the best was no easy task. The 12 photos that won the top spots truly earned their rankings because they’re all mesmerizing and adorable.
Action
First Place
Francesco Junior Mura took this action shot during a dog agility competition in Italy. Mura said the first obstacle of the course is the most interesting because it showcases the bond between the dog and their handler.
