Readers, we are happy to report that you submitted more than 700 photos of your canine companions to our Top Dog in Georgia photo contest. You shared photos of tiny Chihuahuas, and one of a 170-pound mastiff. You shared the picture of the loyal standard poodle who waits for the children at the school bus stop. There was also the basset hound that somehow got onto the kitchen counter. (We suspect he got help with that feat.)
