Your four-legged friend is obviously top dog in your house, but do they have what it takes to be crowned Britain’s Next Top Dog? Find out by entering a new national photographic competition that not only celebrates our love for our canine companions and the joy they’ve given us during the past year, but will also raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK.
All you have to do is send in a photo of your beloved pet, and if they make it to the shortlist in one of six categories (see box below) they’ll be judged by a panel of eight celebrity dog-lovers: Graham Norton, Nigel Havers, Stephen Fry, Gabby Logan, Jeremy Vine, Jake Humphrey, Clare Balding and Saira Khan.
