Capture your Milk-Bone moments
Like to spend a lazy afternoon cuddled with your favorite canine? Do you and your pup ever do a little doggy dance together? Your pooch pucker up and plant a wet one right on your face?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, get your cameras ready, photograph a special moment between you and your dog, and you could win big bucks for you and the title of Milk-Bone 100th Anniversary Spokesdog for your pup.
Milk-Bone is looking for photos of memorable "Milk-Bone Moments" between dogs and their pet parents to celebrate 100 years of baking tasty dog snacks. You can enter your photo online at www.milk-bone.com, where 100 finalists will be chosen and America will vote for their favorite.
The press release describes ideal entries as candid shots of those warm fuzzy moments we share every day with our dogs. I think they want the kind of photos that make you go "awwwwww." They also want a short essay describing your special moment and, of course, your special relationship with your pooch.
The grand prize is a $100,000 contract to serve as the first ever Milk-Bone 100th Anniversary Spokesdog, plus a digital camera. I have no idea what that entails, but it sounds very cool. The other 99 finalists will also be awarded a digital camera.
The contest opened today and the deadline to enter is Sept. 18, so you have plenty of time to snap an award-winning photo of you and your pooch. And if any of you loyal Happy Wag readers becomes a national finalist, let us know and we may cast our votes your way.
Thanks for the heads-up, Nona! My wife and I bought our digital camera right after picking up our pup, just for him. Guess we should put it to good use now.
