Announcing the Winners of the MeatEater Dog Photo Contest!

Collage of hunting dog photos: dogs retrieving, posing, sleeping, and game birds

We asked for dog pics, and you all delivered. We received thousands of submissions of man's best friend living up to the name and then some. From young pups to weathered veterans, the bestest boys to the goodest girls, it’s very clear that everyone adores their furry friends.

From flushing and fetching birds to treeing cats and squirrels to just being goofballs, there’s no question that dogs enhance our lives and outdoor experiences. While every dog deserves a prize, these are the winners from this year’s photo contest.
