Seriously? Where is pet of the day? Dogs/cats need exposure from cobb co animal control. We need to share them so folks know they need out or will be euthanized and ccac always prefers/work hard for them to get out. Help by sharing them as u did and not doing silly articale on who has top dog. Not when pets in GA die by the hundreds every single day in GA alone!!! Please.....do pet of the day every day! Thank you.

I look forward to seeing all this photos this month of the special dogs and puppies that will be entered in the contest and appreciate your profiling the animals who are looking for their forever homes. After the top dog has been announced, how about another contest for our favorite felines?

Thank you, Ryan. You beat me to the message.

Did all of you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Geez, this is just a contest. And one that I will be entering! Thanks, Patch!

Hope you enjoy my pictures of Dexter the pug. :)

Folks,

Let's stick to commenting about dogs and pet ownership in this thread. I will delete comments and suspend the user accounts of folks who attack other readers.

Thanks for keeping things civil!

So many cute dogs! It's going to be tough for the Regional Editors to narrow the list down! But I still think my sister's dog-- aka my 4-legged niece-- Bear is the cutest.

I will be sending over the winner in just a few guys ! Sharon this is way tough ! LOL

I think the photos should be viewed objectivey, adding your dog is a rescue etc... is like trying to bribe a judge.

I for one think the contest should remain fun as someone else mentioned. Not everything has to be a cause.

Everybody has their opinion. As a photographer and web marketer, I think a photo contest should be on the subject, quality of the photo, and virility. The latter being most important for generating revenue for a site like patch.com. Just my opinion though....

"Awww, Phoebe, can't we have just ONE flower?"

=D

I just hope the judges can overlook the fact that this "editor" neglected to edit before she hit send with our dog's photo. Sheeesh. Red faced here!

All of our dogs are rescues, every dog we've had has been a rescue. We're on 12, 13, and 14 right now. I guess I can't enter them because some people are afraid of the backstory. Dogs, cats, there are plenty that need forever homes.

Thank you Anna.

How fun, thanks, Patch! :) Really enjoying everyone's pet dog pictures! Some really funny ones too, especially that one named Tonka that lost a tooth, cracked me up! lol

Noted Anna. I'm with "dazzle"! Perfect looking dog!

I love the idea of this fun contest as a way to show off our canine family members! Although I'm not a cat person, I also agree (and hope) that at some point Patch will do the same for our feline families. And maybe at some point something for our "Pocket Pets" too?
Thanks!

Dahlia is the cutiest!

Wow! We have more than 300 entries in this contest already! I'm having a great time clicking though these photos of your sweet, funny, cuddly, loyal companions.

See Sauce #334

I am loving Odie, #168 is just too cute with his little lifejacket on!

My dog Coco Chanel #415 is our sweet baby girl. She is always wagging her tail, happy as can be. She has brought a lot of joy to our life.

Everyone loves their animals whether they are rescued at a shelter or purchased because they are so wanted! If I were a dog either way would be fine with me as long as I was loved!

i uploaded 2 pics earlier last week and they arent up? Are my furry babies not good enough?

I tried to delete my original picture (#386) to upload a different one but was unable too. So I have two on here & I am not trying to "cheat", but wanted to delete my original one (the single shot #386), but was unable too. Haha!

See Rainer #495 :) German Shepherd Puppy

Aww! We love puppies!

I'm just glad I don't have to judge this. They ALL look so cute I'd never be able to decide !

Amazing dogs! Fabulous photos! Thanks for sharing these with us!
