Roanoke’s Top Dogs 2021 – Vote For Your Favorite!

Six dogs in a collage around The Roanoker Top Dogs logo, one carrying a tennis ball.

It wasn’t easy, but from the hundreds of photos you submitted our staff narrowed it down to the following 33 finalists in our second annual Top Dogs contest! Now it’s YOUR turn to help us pick the winner! 

View the images below (click the thumbnails to enlarge) then vote for your favorite using the form at the end of this page. The winning dog will receive a professional photo shoot and appear in our March/April 2021 issue. Only one ballot per valid email address is allowed, and voting ends at midnight on January 24, 2021. Thank you!
