There’s nothing quite like the bond between a child and their pet.
They are your best friend, your confidante, your constant companion.
To celebrate that very special relationship, the childphotocompetition.com contest asked photographers around the world to submit their images of children and their furry best friends.
Over 1,000 pictures were sent in.
The winning entry went to Polish photographer Justyna Garczyk-Kleszcz’s black and white shot of a boy and his dog, side by side, their hands/paws covering their faces, called ‘Peekaboo’.
