She passed away last year on December 4th from Hystiosytic Sarcoma, but we'll never forget her dance." — Photographer Lori Webb of Surprise, AZ   Entry #82: Truman and his Red Ball (3-year-old Truman pictured above) "When Truman is in the pool, he is never far from his red ball...or his raft. He LOVES to float on the raft and chew his ball for what seems a long time.  He loves his pool and all that comes with it." — Photographer Lori Webb of Surprise, AZ   Entry #83: Sage and Sydney Chat — "This photo was taken just days after I brought Sage (Four Season's Sage Advice) home from Indiana to Florida. Here, Sage is two months old and is being trained by Sydney (Lady Sydney, Pathfinder's Golden Rose) who was 22 months old. I believe the lesson had to do with how you 'show' emotion!

She'd run and splash and then lay down in the creek just for fun." — Photographer Laura Stout of Fort Collins, CO   Entry #94: Best of Friends — Great Minds Sleep Alike (7-year-old Autumn and 6½-year-old Harpo pictured above) "My two Goldens, Autumn and Harpo are truly inseparable.

Jeremy and I were going to a harvested wheat field right up the road, and I knew that Ali would have a blast running around the field. So, when we got there, Ali jumped out of the car and was in WHEAT FIELD HEAVEN! She was romping around the field like you wouldn’t believe—she was so thankful that she got to come along! Jeremy then called Ali over to him, and she took a break and sat with him. It was precious…a true Golden Kodak Moment. : )" — Photographer Jackie Evans of Minot, ND   Entry #112: Watching ... Waiting ... He'll Soon Be Home —"I remember taking this photo of Brandy solely because I knew exactly what she was thinking, and how it was so obvious how much she missed John (my father-in-law) when he was gone. They were the best of friends—and you simply knew—that John was her everything and visa versa. In years past, whenever we visited my husband's parents, the guys and Brandy would all go on daily walks. But, in 2003, Brandy just couldn’t go on those walks anymore as her muscles ached. So, on this trip to the hills of Grants Pass, Oregon, on this day, my husband, two sons, and John left to go on their walk. Brandy walked out onto the deck and watched them walk down the dirt road until they were out of sight. Her eyes remained fixed on that dirt road leading up to the house as she laid there, watching and waiting for their return. The love that Goldens have for their people just cannot be described in words. But, in this picture you can see through Brandy’s eyes how very much she loved and needed her dad." — Photographer Jackie Evans of Minot, ND   Entry #113: Alien Encounter (2-year-old Buddy and 3-month-old Shelby pictured above) "Buddy and Shelby love to play bitey face. I just happened to catch this shot. Shelby was standing underneath Buddy and all you could see was her face. It looked like Buddy had an alien growing out of his side." — Photographer Carol Durkee of London, Ontario   Entry #114: Seeking Shelter — "Teddy is my forever Golden and mentor to Canine Companion Puppies that pass through our lives. He is 3-years-old now and wise beyond his years. Tavi is my upstart 4-month-old CCI assistance puppy in training. The instant that Tavi arrived, he and Teddy were constant companions. When Tavi was startled he would seek shelter under Teddy's long legs. Teddy stands about 29" at the shoulder. As Tavi grows, he still manages to snuggle under Teddy, as in this picture, often. I was lucky enough to snap this photo on an outing in Durango, Colorado. What handsome guys! They truly are T-squared." — Photographer Pat Lawson of Queen Creek, AZ   Entry #115: Please may I have your bone? — "This is a picture of my Barley when he was a pup with my beloved Bailey (who has since crossed the bridge). Even though Barley had his own bone, he always thought Bailey's was better. Bailey was a true gentleman and would eventually trade bones with him. I will forever miss his gentle spirit." — Photographer Denise Mann of Wakefield, RI   Entry #116: Funny girls, Maggie and Sadie (11-year-old Maggie and 18-month-old Sadie pictured above) "Two wild and crazy girls, Maggie and Sadie, upside down and looking for some attention and looking for a belly rub.

Check out their antics at Maggie's Therapy Dog page." — Photographer Mike Kewley of Boylston, MA   Entry #117: Contemplation — "Whether at the ocean, in a lake or stream, Einstein (age three) loves to plop down in the water and watch the world go by. He'll soak for a while and contemplate the mysteries of the universe. Or is he just thinking about which bird to chase? Photo taken at Bear Lake, Utah." — Photographer Catherine Anderson of Salt Lake City, UT   Entry #118: Thrill (3-year-old Copernicus in the front & 6-year-old Einstein in the rear) "Nothing thrills Copernicus and Einstein more than a day of swimming and running.

" — Photographer Catherine Anderson of Salt Lake City, UT   Entry #119: Born To Run — "This is a picture of my dog, Max, running through the woods in the snow (his favorite activity)." — Photographer Cori Richter of Appleton, WI   Entry #120: The Self-Appointed Guardian — "I took this photo of our dog Luke with our daughter Anna seven years ago when she was just a couple of months old. Luke just passed away in November 2007, very suddenly from cancer (Hemangiosarcoma). Luke was a rescue we adopted through the Golden Retriever Rescue Club of Charlotte. I was pregnant with Anna when we brought him home. When she was born (she is our first child) Luke and our other dog, Sam could not wait to meet her. I have a photo of them both sitting patiently waiting to sniff her head when we first arrived home from the hospital. The first night Anna was home Luke got up with me every time I got up to change her or feed her. He would follow me into the nursery and lay on the floor. I knew then he was going to always look out for her. We have since had a son and Luke was always protective of both of them. We recently renovated our home and Luke always positioned himself between the construction workers and the kids. After he died I had this photo enlarged and hung it on the wall in my daughter's bedroom. I told her her guardian is looking out for her from heaven now. I always loved that photo because of how gently he is laying his head beside her. And I think you can see in his face that he has decided that his purpose is going to be to look out for this child. And he did just that for nearly 8 years. We miss him dearly." — Photographer Sara Behnke of Charlotte, NC   Entry #121: Jeter — "This is Jeter's first bath when he was 8-weeks old. How peaceful he is. Unfortunately Jeter passed away at 11 months of age, as he had SAS (Subvalvular Aortic Stenois)." — Photographer Chandi Jaikaran of Fresh Meadows, NY   Take me back to the official contest page.
