Earlier in August, we announced that we were launching a new Facebook feature called “Cover Canine“. Even in our wildest, most optimistic dreams, we couldn’t have predicted the kind of response it received. In two short weeks, we received over 200 photos of dogs big and small, all showing off their best smiles. WHOA!

Choosing the best of the best, as it were, was insanely difficult! I mean, how do you choose?! After some serious hair pulling, we narrowed it down to the top eleven, seen here, and ultimately found our Cover Canine for September. Meet Aengus, a 7 year old Boston Terrier:

How awesome is that smile?? Those little crooked teeth are just too cute!

And now, here are our ten runners up (can you see how difficult this was??!):

Bella, Chihuahua | Clide Hurlburt, 2 year old Black Chinese Pug

Rufus, 9 year old Golden Retriever | Everett, 5 year old Catahoula Leopard Dog

Dixie Winanda, 9 month old Black Lab Cur Mix | Maui, 4 month old Bernese Mountain Dog

Cooper, 3 year old Dachshund Mix | Haley, 13 year old Golden Retriever

Emmy, 4 year old Shih Tzu – Yorkie Mix | Princess Pom-Pom Pupcake aka “Pom-Pom”, Maltese-Pomeranian Mix

Finn, 2 year old Labrador-Wirehaired Pointer Mix

Thank you to all who submitted photos! We will be announcing our theme and submission dates for October in a couple of weeks (hint: it has something to do with costumes). Get excited!
