Recently The Kennel Club that’s located in England, concluded their annual dog photographer competition. There were over 10,000 submissions from 70 different countries.
After all those pictures of good boys, I think they found some amazing photos from all sorts of different people and dogs. Take a look and judge for yourself, I think the puppy division was my favorite though!
