A very confused dog topped the list of winners for this year’s Comedy Pet Photography Awards.
The annual photo competition, now in its fifth year, lets pet- and animal-lovers submit funny photos and videos of their furry friends, according to a news release from the Comedy Pet Photography Awards. The awards were created by Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam "to highlight the positive and vital role that pets have in our lives and to encourage engagement around animal welfare."
Sarah Haskell took top honors with her photo called "Not just for cats!" The photo is of her dog, Hector, who unsuccessfully tried to get through a cat door after seeing a cat do it with ease.

"Hector saw the cat do it...so thought he would give it a try," Haskell said in a news release. "This is about as far as he got before reversing out the way he came. I can imagine him thinking…’But the cat made it look so easy’ Not so for Hector!’"
Other category winners include a cat in a very precarious – but hilarious – situation, a jumping horse, and a cute turtle enjoying some foliage.
The People’s Choice award went to an acrobatic cat who could be teaching their own aerial yoga class.
