We thank everyone for their submission (pun intended) to this year's contest. It's unfortunate that we could only squeeze in a fraction of the dogs to our February, 2010 issue, which is why we are extra proud to feature them all in this exclusive online gallery. For the first time, I was the one and only judge. So, if anyone has any sticks to fling, fling them my way, and I promise to fetch them all. To those who took the time to send me dog photos, I owe you all a big frothy carbonated beverage. And, muchas gracias to Ruffwear for providing the prizes for this year’s contest. MJF
