Congratulations to Dog Art Today reader, Candy Adams, who won my Angels With Fur Photo Album Contest.  Candy’s name was selected at random from everyone who submitted photos to my new online album.   To be honest Candy might have won if it were an actual photography contest.   I simply love this sweet close up of her pup, Zoe, whom she described as:

“Feisty, Fearless, believes her 12 pound body is as big as an 80 pound Lab! My little rescue learns so quickly, is my loyal companion and I’m honoured to have her love…AND all of this is wrapped up in FUNNY! She starts my day with a laugh and ends my day with a smile; it doesn’t get any better!”

Candy told me she has an interest in learning more about photography, but claimed she just “got lucky” with this terrific Zoe photo.  I told her that I don’t believe in luck when it comes to composition and having a good eye.  I definitely think she should pursue her interest and I think winning this contest is a sign that she is headed in the right direction.

For her prize, Candy chose one of my all time most popular designs, The Striped Dachshund Puppy.  It’s kind of hard to see on the mug

Here is the full image available as a print at my Etsy store

It is also available on t-shirts, baby clothes, pillows, greeting cards, tote bags and ornaments at my CafePress store.

Thank you, everyone who entered.  I can’t tell you how fun it was to open my email and meet all these fabulous dogs, each one so precious and individual.  I also enjoyed getting to know many of you who regularly read my blog who I didn’t know by name.  Please feel free to share any comments and suggestions with me.  I love hearing from you.

P.S.  The contest is over, but you can always submit your dog to my Angels With Fur Album.  All dogs are welcome.

    Please, what mix is Zoe? We lost our little strawberry blonde, Ben [http://warchild13.com/dogblog/archives/2008/06/my_friend_ben_h.html], this year and he was a masculine (aka larger male version) of the same missing face.
    What breed mix is Zoe?

    Wow…this is so exciting – not only to win the Photo Album Contest – but for all the great questions about Zoe. Zoe is a 2 year old Michigan Humane Society rescue and our vet guesses she is a mx of Border/Parsons Russell terrier…Zoe is quite the popular ‘character’ in our world and her confidence abounds – I’m the lucky one to share life with her. Thank you all for the attention – SHE loves it!
