The Awkward Pet Photo Caption Contest
Presented by PetSmart Charities

Congratulations to Renee and his winning caption:

Rex calmly accepted his fate when he realized that what awaits him couldn’t possibly be worse than being dressed in ridiculous outfits, fed the same bland meals day after day, and being kept on a short leash…… The dog wasn’t too worried either.

And special recognition goes to Scott and his runner up caption of:

Take me to your breeder.

Thanks to all of our nominees and the whole AFP community for submitting so many amazing captions (see them all here)!

Your donations help PetSmart Charities find a lifelong, loving home for every pet.
