Puppies are pictured snuggling, swimming and snoozing in these winning images, which were among an incredible 10,000 entries from 74 different countries in the annual contest.

This year's overall winner was Maria Davison, from Portugal, for her image of an adorable puppy resting its head, which was in the Man's Best Friend category. Maria, who began taking photos of her dogs and pets three years ago, said: 'This image was already close to my heart and it is one of the photographs I am most proud of. It was not only a beautiful, real and candid moment I got to capture, but also a demonstration of the strong bond between one of my closest friends and her dog, Yzma.'

Rosemary Smart, chief executive of the Kennel Club, said: 'The quality of the entries to the Dog Photographer of the Year competition never ceases to amaze.'

The winning images, including second and third places for each category, will be on display at the Kennel Club in London from June 26 to August 31.

I'm entering this contest next time. We have a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler & a new Lab mix. 99% of my phone is dog pics.
