It's pure joy captured in a single snap..
Little Winnie flying high at the beach was caught on camera by her dad, vet Sam Price, from Co Down.
And the photo of the dog bounding across the sands, mouth open, ears flapping in the wind, was chosen by BVA Live attendees as the People’s Choice winner of this year’s British Veterinary Association's Vet Photographer of the Year competition.

Small animal practice vet Dr Price from Garden Lodge Veterinary Clinic in Holywood, was awarded the first title in the popular competition.
He titled the photo, 'Jumping for Joy', during a trip with Winnie in his campervan.
Dr Price said: "She loves nothing more than a beach day as you can see so I felt this was a fitting photo for the brief.
“Thankfully there was a rare bout of sunshine on the day which made for some nice lighting and Winnie is pretty photogenic which always helps."
The competition awards a winner and two highly commended images in three categories - Vets At Work , All Creatures Great And Small and Happy Pets That Make Us Smile - plus a winner in the new People’s Choice category
