    Adorable dog photos shouldn't be hoarded solely for their owners' enjoyment. The participants of the Kennel Club Dog Photographer of the Year competition understand this all too well. According to the U.K. Daily Mail, over 5,000 amateur and professional photographers from around the world submitted photos for the annual competition. This year's cuddly contest produced plenty of pup-tastic pictures, including this honorable mention photo in the "Dog Portrait" category by Opal Seabrook. Click on to see more of the winning shots.

Not impressed! Who were the judges? Do they even have art degrees? Or, they just employees?

This was photo of the year? Sad. There had to be better pictures of animals then this. This is neat but certainly not great.
