MeatEater StaffMay 12, 2025

If you’re anything like most of us at MeatEater, a good amount of your phone storage space is taken up by photos of your furry friends. Whether they’re proudly carrying their PR stick, lounging on the couch, posing with a limit of greenheads, or rolling in a mud puddle, the picture-perfect moments just never seem to stop.

Having a four-legged companion at your side makes outdoor adventures even better, and coming home to wagging tails can improve the very worst of days. The moniker “man’s best friend” is no coincidence; these hairy hounds really do have a special hold on our hearts. And it’s why we still love them even after they chew up brand new shoes, pee on your mother-in-law’s carpets, or shatter a glass off the coffee table with their tail.

Their unwavering devotion and unending entertainment deserve a celebration. So we want to see the goofiest, proudest, tail-waggin-est dog photos you have. Because we love dogs, and we want to see yours too!
