June Dog Photo Contest Winners
Huge number of photos this month (over 1300)! With summer in full swing, everyone's spending more time outdoors and that means fewer bad flash photos and a lot more great, in focus shots of our sweeties! As always, only ten dog photos could win. 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?

Mom:Audrey, Ontario

Jello likes: to be pampered (sleep in the sun and on mom's lap while getting a belly rub), to eat fancy fruit such as mango, papaya, lychee & pineapple, to carry a big stick on walks, to know what mom & dad are doing at all times and to romp with all dogs that want to play.”

Piper
Mom: Pam, Georgia
Piper's Mom says: “Piper was found in the storm drain on Saturday June 9, 2007. When we realized she was down there she had already been down there for 3 days. We had about 15 firemen, 5 different fire trucks, 4 city workers and their 2 bosses, and countless neighbors trying for 7 days to get Piper out. After finally digging up and removing 20 feet of storm drain, and blasting out 30 feet of packed Georgia red clay from the end of the pipe using over 4,500 gallons of water... little Piper came out. She's now the newest member of our family.”

Malo
Mom: Kristin, Tennessee
Malo's Mom says: “Malo is a 115 lb. 7-year old mutt with a big heart and even bigger brown eyes. He is not my dog, but my good friend's dog. Malo stays with my family every time his parents go out of town. He has become a boyfriend to my Pitt-mix and a big brother to my Yorkshire Terrier. They both love him very much. I took this photo of him yesterday while he was laying on our back deck taking a nap as the sun was setting. Just look at those soulful eyes.”

Prize: Small Furminator DeShedding Tool

Leo
Dad: Ian, Oregon
Leo's Dad says: “"Leo", my 3 year old Chinese Pug. Since my wife and I do not have children, he fits in perfectly. He was only 8 months old when we bought him, from a newspaper ad. He was the runt of the pack, and we fell in love with him. He's an adventurous trooper, no matter where we are. From the Oregon beaches to the high Oregon desert, he travels. And, his favorite snacks are "Beggin Strips". He can small them from a mile away. Now, he's not just a Pug, but a Super Pug. We do have to be careful, because he will over do himself, and we don't want that. He always goes and goes, what a trooper.”
