Here at Reader’s Digest, we can never get enough dog pictures—and we can never get enough funny dog pictures in particular! We love big dogs, we love apartment dogs, we love meeting new dogs when we travel (and finding out that they bark differently in different languages!) From dogs making funny faces to pooch partners in crime, there’s not a dog photo out there that we wouldn’t want to see. Below, we’ve included some of the most paw-some dog photos we collected as part of our Pet Pals contest. This is the ulti-mutt collection of funny dog photos.
