Congratulations to TOP FIFTEEN PICTURES of our second photo contest! Selecting only fifteen pictures from more than 500 entries (no, really ) was a very difficult task. The below pictures are our office favorites whose merits were discussed at length! Virtually everyone who submitted entries had two or three outstanding shots, and with great regret we were forced to relegate many outstanding pictures to the new Photo Gallery (Honorable mentions!) as we reached for a consensus on the runners-up. Congratulations to all and a hearty thank you to all who participated!

  My Name: Abby Tiny Lady

BFF: A.P. Corona

"I was the second baby in a litter of three. My brother and sister were very robust and healthy looking, while I was puny and too small. But at four months, my new Mom and Dad came to get me because I had grown to one and one-half pounds! Big enough to go with my own family! I am five yr old now and weigh 2.5 pounds. I love summertime. I enjoy floating in the pool and lying around in my hammock. I just love being me! I also enjoy all of the pretty flowers that grow in the summer. They really taste good!!"

My Name: Gibbon

BFF: Jerry McDougall and Jazmine Estacio,

"Hi everyone! My name is Gibbon, a Miniature Pinscher living in East Village, NYC. This August will be my first anniversary living with my Mom and Dad so this is a very special month for me! We walk everywhere - to the dog run, the parks, a great Min Pin Meet Up at Washington Square Park and to any street festival going on in the neighborhood. There is a special dog place where I can swim in a pool every week. The best part of the City is that there are so many dog friendly places; Mom can take me almost everywhere! Mom took this picture of me during a calm moment on the roofdeck watching the sunset. A rare and tranquil moment that we shared during a hot summer evening."

BFF: Nancy Z Bogues, All rights reserved. Reprint is not allowed.

"Scully is such a devoted, loving dog. We call her our "velcro dog" because she always has to be touching you. She tries so hard to understand every word we say, so sometimes we have to spell words if we don't want her to know right away we are planning a "dog" outing! She loves to be warm. Some of her favorite places are under the covers, in the hot tub, or on top of the clothes right out of the dryer! She also loves to run and play with her GSP mix brother Stryder. "
