With 151 entries and a total of 4,927 total votes, we were once again astounded at the participation in our sixth annual Delta Dog Photo Contest! We can tell how much you love to show off your favorite canines from the Delta and beyond.
This year, the readers’ choice overall winner is a British Labrador Retriever from Little Rock, Arkansas, named Toddy, who is striking a majestic pose on a foggy morning. Choosing the overall winner, is certainly no easy task, but still a lot of fun, as we look through the hundreds of photos! After spending untold hours, our editing team is thrilled to present the editors’ choice overall winner, Maely, a Labrador Retriever, from Mount Olive, Mississippi, standing proudly with a beautiful Mallard retrieved from the water
On the following pages, we present the readers’ choice place winners in each category: Adopted/Rescue, Dogs at Play, Sporting Dogs, and Puppies. Our deepest thanks to everyone who took the time to submit photos, to vote, and share their beloved dogs with us!
