Pet Portraits: Aberdeenshire farm trio take home this week’s prize

This week’s top Pet Portrait goes to Catherine Davidson’s terrific trio of dogs.

Captured on the farm where they live in Echt, Bernese mountain dog Sadie and huskies Leo and Quinn’s model poses blew us away.

We hope our winners enjoy their £50 Pet Planet voucher.

Their competition wasn’t far behind however, with adorable puppies and kittens aplenty – just look at seven-month-old Barney.

Barney seems to have decided it’s time for bed – but maybe not in his own – at Rachel Wilkie’s home.

And if that wasn’t enough paw-fect pets for you, make sure to look through the rest of our gallery for more of this week’s cutest pets.
