CATS, dogs, rabbits and birds - we have been inundated with pictures of your lovely animals, but who will be crowned this year's Pet Idol?

We asked our readers to submit pictures of their treasured pets and tell us why they deserve showing off, and now, after two weeks of voting, a pooch, moggy or feathered friend will be crowned Salisbury's finest.

The winner of the pet competition will be treated to a £50 voucher prize and be named Salisbury Journal's Pet Idol 2021.

Over the last month more than 80 animals were entered, and to give you an idea of the photogenic bunch, 21 of them are featured in the gallery above.

To vote for your favourite make sure to pick up a copy of this week's Journal and fill out and send the Pet Idol form on page 62.

The completed form should be sent to Pet Idol Competition, Salisbury Journal, Fleet House, Hampshire Road, Weymouth, DT4 9XD.

The voting deadline is June 24.
