AHEAD of next week’s thrilling final we bring you the last lovable entries for this year’s Worcester News Pet Idol 2008 competition.
Thousands of readers have voted for their favourites and all this week we have been revealing the lucky contenders in the dogs, cats and small furry animals categories.
Today is the turn of the finalists for the pets who look like their owners and the other animals categories.
