June 2006 Photo Contest Winners
Over 1200 dog photo entries this month (!), but only ten could win. It was incredibly hard to choose our winners this month, as always... but in the end, we had to choose. Many of other excellent photos made our honorable mentions for the contest - be sure to stop by and see them.
If you submitted this month but didn't win, why not submit photos for our July Photo Contest?

He is a huge, ambling teddy bear and has the most soulful eyes I've ever seen.”
