Here are the best outdoor dog photos you submitted for week three. If you haven’t had a chance to submit any photos yet, you still have one more week. Send your outdoor dog photos to [email protected], and I will publish them next Sunday.

These are some really great photos! I am impressed! It’s fun to see all different kinds of dogs outside having a great time. Thank you to everyone who has participated in the contest so far.

Take a look at the photos:

Pruett the German shepherd

Pruett (6 months) is owned by Christina Solomon. They live in Durham, N.C. Pruett and his sister Daphne have their own blog, GSD Adventures.

Dutch the mutt

Patti Struchynski of Fargo considers Dutch (eight) to be obsessed with tennis balls. When she first got him he would lie with the ball between his front paws and continuously lick it for hours if she didn’t stop him. His prior home probably left him alone with a tennis ball to keep him occupied.

Munchy the yorkie

Munchy was going to be put down but was adopted by Kim Novash of Quebec, Canada. Kim said Munchy has a lot of courage for such a small body and thinks like a big dog. Check out the pet site Kim contributes to.
