    The candid image was taken by Whelan of her two daughters and her border collie, 11-year-old George on a beach near Filey, North Yorkshire in August.
    ‘We were on holiday and I was looking out for the girls when I noticed George was also watching them - half wanting to run out with them,’ says Whelan.


    ‘George's ears happened to be in this photo and I loved the way it turned out, making a bit of a wistful, nostalgic feel to the scene.’
    The competition attracted submissions from around the globe including UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Poland, Russia, New Zealand, Belgium, Sweden, The Netherlands, Romania, Brazil and Germany.
