"This photo was taken at my grandmother's house at 8 a.m.," Carvalho de Moura wrote. "Hassan is a very agitated dog, it was almost impossible to photograph him, so I hid and called him in the yard. The puppy came running, looked at the camera, and smiled."

"This is my best friend Faith and her husband Alex ... and their cheeky Sproodle, Hugo," Beck wrote. "Faith wanted a photograph to mark a special occasion — her first outing after shielding at home for 14 months. Hugo jumped into the frame at just the right moment! He's a lockdown pup, so he hasn't quite gotten used to the excitement of being around other people yet."

"Cutie and Speedy are two chicks hatched from eggs placed in an incubator at home in August 2020," Bonnefoi wrote. "The first three months they spent most of their time with me. They just loved looking at the screen of my iPad when I was replying to emails or chatting on FaceTime. In the photo they are only nine days old. They were curious about everything around them. One morning I put [on] a 'hen sound effect' YouTube video. I wanted to see what would happen as the only 'living creature' they were used to was me. Their reaction was second to none!"
