- The Comedy Pet Photography Awards recognize hilarious photos submitted by pet owners.
- The contest shared its 2024 finalists, and winners will be announced on June 6.
- Photos show cats, dogs, hamsters, and tortoises striking humorous poses.
On Friday, the Comedy Pet Photography Awards announced the finalists in its 2024 contest highlighting the best in pet shenanigans.
A panel of judges will decide the winning photos, which will be announced on June 6. Members of the public can vote for their favorite snapshot to win the People's Choice award on the contest's official website.
Half of US pet owners think of their pets as family members who are just as important as a child or partner, according to a 2023 survey by the Pew Research Center. This affection helps fuel a pet-care industry that is expected to be worth $200 billion a year by 2030, Bloomberg reported.
Take a look at the hilarious finalists in this year's Comedy Pet Photography Awards.
