[G&G] The 2020 edition of our Good Dog Photo Contest proved once again that Garden & Gun readers have a nose for good dogs and great photos. We received nearly 12,000 submissions and one million votes, and it’s a treat for us to shine a spotlight on the many, many loyal, gorgeous, and just plain hilarious canines around the South and beyond. As always, picking a winner was no easy task, but we just couldn’t take our eyes off Dylian, a water-loving Chesapeake Bay retriever from El Paso, Texas, with a 1,000-watt smile. A special shout out as well to the readers’ choice winner, Oscar, a bluetick coonhound from Mobile, Alabama, who lets nothing stand in his way.Meet Dylian and Oscar as well as several more of our favorites and the other top readers’ choice vote getters below. Because we had so many great entries, we’ve also put together collections of dogs being buddies, funny dogs, dogs in the field, and a slew of adorable puppies.
Our sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to submit photos and vote. It certainly lifted our spirits during this trying year, and we hope these photos help bring you some doggie joy. And Dylian, keep an eye on the mailbox for a G&G gift pack headed your way.
