Checking in on the frontrunners for Readers’ Choice in the 2018 Good Dog Photo Contest

We’re about halfway through the 2018 Good Dog Photo Contest, and the voting is well underway. We’ve got adorable puppies, tough-looking gun dogs, hilarious goofballs, and more cuteness than we know what to do with. So we thought we’d check in on what you think. Here, we’ve rounded up the ten dogs who have received the most votes—so far. Vote for your favorite out of the leaders below, or scroll through the all the submissions to cast your vote for an underdog.

Enter and see all the entries here. G&G editors will select one Grand Prize Winner to appear in the December/January issue of the magazine.
