Oscar and Felix, Harold and Maude, all those glamour girls
on the arms of wizened geezers who make people exclaim “What does she
see in him?” These peculiar pairings have come to be known as “odd
couples.” It’s a phenomenon that strikes all kinds of creatures
—especially dogs. Is your dog part of an odd couple? Send us a picture
for our 29th Annual Photo Contest celebrating your dog’s funniest, or
perhaps most bizarre, best friend.

and the breed of dog(s), taped securely to the back. Entries received without
this information will not be considered.
8. A committee appointed by the American Kennel Club will
select the winners based on the quality of the photograph, composition, originality,
appeal, and relationship to the theme. All decisions are final.
9. No official win shots will be accepted.
