THE Top 50 finalists of this year's Pet Idol competition will be revealed in this week's Courier.

The annual contest received more entries than ever before as our readers shared pictures of their beloved companions.

And after two weeks of frantic voting, the 50 who received the most votes, will be unveiled in the pages of the Courier - in shops tomorrow.

This year's winner will not only receive £300 prize money but take the prestigious Pet Idol 2017 title.

Voting continues until Friday, August 25, when it will close again and we will whittle down our finalists to our Top 25.

Remember voting coupons are printed in the Courier each week, so make sure you vote for your favourite and may the best pet win!
