Enter the Mahurangi Matters pet lookalike competition

Ever walked down the street and seen someone who looks exactly like the dog they are walking?

Maybe your friends are constantly saying you look like your cat?

They say people choose pets that look like themselves, and Mahurangi Matters is searching for pets and people who fit the bill.

Send us a photo of yourself and your lookalike pet, or dob in your friends and family by sending a photo on their behalf. If you don’t look like your pet, feel free to get creative and dress up like your pet.

There will be prizes for the best entries and a selection will be published in the March 3 paper.

Photos can be sent to online@localmatters.co.nz, with the subject line Mahurangi Pets, or dropped in to 17 Neville Street, Warkworth. Include your name and a daytime phone number. Entries close 5pm Monday, February 22.
