The finalists of this year's Comedy Pet Photo Competition have been revealed including a headless horse and a kung-fu fighting dog.

Professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullman created the competition to celebrate the positive role pets have in our lives and to encourage animal welfare.

The images were chosen for their photographic quality as well as their comedic value and were subject to serious scrutiny from the judges who are all expert animal lovers.

Some of the panel includes TV presenter Kate Humble, professional photographer Gerrary Gethings and his son Jarvis Gethings and also Barry the Border Terrier.
