A group of budding filmmakers have made short videos of their pets to help spread the message of animal protection on World Animal Day.
The touching videos, some of which can be viewed on YouTube, were made for a competition launched by Animals Asia Foundation (AAF) to raise awareness of animal protection in Hong Kong last month.
Winners of the competition were awarded prizes last Thursday at a book-reading event where AAF's China Bear Rescue Ambassador Eleanor Mok (mother of Canto-pop singer Karen Mok) read the book Moonbear Rescue by Australia author Kim Dale.
Thirty children from Ma On Shan Ling Liang Primary School and Chinese International School also attended the event.
Jessica Jenner, six, won first prize and Roos Kooiker, 14, was the runner-up. Both girls' entries featured montages of pictures of them with their animals, proving how animals can light up children's lives.
Showing animals snuggle up to the two smiling girls, the pictures are also a powerful testament to the strong bond between humans and their furry friends.
