Third preliminary thread: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220308853

The subject was chosen by Grumpy Old Guy: DOGS

Dogs!
I have been involved with several contests, and I've noticed one thing in particular. Photos that include a dog always do well. I'm sure it's because people love dogs. It's almost as if the dog photos have an unfair advantage. Therefore, I think it's time to level the playing field. Every photo has to include a dog!
Dogs rule!

You're right, there is no bad picture with a dog in it.
