Your pups tell amazing California stories, and Team DogTrekker had a tough time picking our favorite. We spent hours marveling at dogs swimming, playing in the snow, chasing balls, climbing mountains, surfing, running on beaches, basking in fall colors, strolling through vineyards, exploring the desert and more.
Our top choice was a wonderful photo of two very cute Pomeranians – Biscuit and Maddie – waving from Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park. They are perfectly framed, with Half Dome in the background. The shot has great colors, composition and sense of place, too. Thanks to grand prize winner Ivy Chen for sharing this photo.
Best in Show
DogTrekker readers also had difficult choices to make, with fantastic photos of pups soaking up the sunshine on the Bay Trail, spending time on the Russian River, walking around Oakland’s Lake Merritt, and trotting along the Sacramento River in Old Sacramento.
The highest vote count went to Samurai, who enjoyed his first ride in a sidecar in Carmel. He’s donning cool shades, and the deep blue Monterey Bay sparkles in the background. Thanks to grand prize winner Michelle Chu for submitting this photo.
