What better way to celebrate the Dogs of Summer than with our favorite Adventure Dogs?

We put a call out to all Adventure Dogs and had a great turn out with over 175 entries. The winner of the contest and a free Weekend Pass with Camping ticket was Marc Johnson with over 250 votes. That’s one popular pup!
