Heartwarming Winners of the 2024 Dog Photography Awards

2024 Dog Photography Awards

“Moving in time” by Regine Jensen. 1st Place, Action.

Man's best friend is being celebrated at the 2024 Dog Photography Awards. Pet photographers from more than 60 different countries entered 1,700 photos across five diverse categories. From animals in action to heartwarming portraits, the winners highlight the diversity and charm of dogs.

Regine Jensen‘s beautiful image Moving in time places a white whippet named Rebelle in a billowing red cape. As it moves across the sand, the canine looks like a superhero proudly walking about after completing a heroic rescue, making it a fitting winner of the Action category. Jane Thomson also places a dog in a narrative but with a touching purpose. Her photo, which won the Dogs & People category, honors the impact animals make as part of a pet therapy program at a children's hospital.

One thing is clear: whether celebrating the power of these dogs or the strong bonds they form with their owners, these images are more than simply photographs. For the owners, they are cherished keepsakes that immortalize the spirit of their pets—pets that often become an important part of their families.

Created by dog photographers Audrey Bellot and Claudio Piccoli, the contest is judged by an esteemed panel of professionals as a way to showcase the most exceptional dog photographs from across the globe. Scroll down to see to all of the incredible winners.
