COMP CLOSED: It’s upside-down dogs!

We have a book with a difference this week – and one that will make a gorgeous gift for yourself or the dog lover in your life. Featuring snaps by international award-winning photographer Serena Hodson, it’s Upside-down Dogs, a delightfully cute photo book of – you guessed it – dogs posing upside-down.

Pooches of all shapes, sizes, colours and temperaments have been photographed in the most disarming, loveable way – upside-down. (We challenge you not to emit at least one teeniest tiniest “nawwww” as you flick through this one.)

BONUS: If you’re a pet photography enthusiast (or simply want to know how to take better pictures of your pet), check out episode 170 of podcast So you want to be a photographer with Valerie Khoo and Gina Milicia – as they interview Serena!

We have three copies of Upside-down Dogs to give away this week. To win one, tell us… if you got a new doggie today what name you would you give it and why (in 25 words or fewer)? Our favourite three responses will each win a copy of the book!

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES! WINNERS WILL BE EMAILED AND ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
