Man’s Best Friend 1st Place Winner Joana Matos, Portugal

Title of image: ‘Dolce far niente on a lovely afternoon’

Dog: Godji, Portuguese Podengo crossbreed

'I love this photo for many reasons: it was taken at my favourite beach, with my favourite man, with my favourite dog... and in the background there is an umbrella that belonged to my eternal love Nupi, an adventurous cocker spaniel who shared his life with me for almost 19 years. Godji, the beautiful dog in the picture is a natural poser and sometimes people call her "supermodel of the world" and now she has become one!' - Joana Matos
