They are your beloved dogs at home, at the job site, in the studio, keeping you safe, getting in your photo shoots and, when you must be separated, waiting, waiting, waiting for you to return.
What makes a dog? Two bright eyes, four legs, a tail, fur and a wet, inquisitive nose? Add the biggest heart on the planet and you may be getting somewhere.

From Daniel Garzon: "Here's Dexter, our Blue Heeler, accomplice, friend and partner, making sure I do a good job and then relaxing after all the hard work at the farm in Boyaca, Colombia."
Dexter makes sure Garzon gets the cut right.
From Dibooth: "Bruce relaxing in the birdbath during the dog days of last summer."
From DINTIN: "Always makes everything a total mess, but just cute."
From Chelz0r: "This is Biggie the bulldog, who enjoys lying on the bed with his face resting on the window watching other dogs and people walk by outside, and eventually falling asleep there!"
From Katie32123: "Maisy takes her job of sleeping in the sun very seriously when she isn't keeping tabs on Charlie the parrot."
From Maya Hill: "Reggie is a white boxer who will be 11 in June. He is an old man, but you would not know by the spunk he has."
From Mkritt: "This is Bailey. His eyes no longer see, his ears no longer hear, and his fur has soaked up an ocean of tears. When our family suffered an unimaginable loss, he was there for us; we are doing our best to live up to his love and loyalty."
From “Expressions” by Jan Guigue: "Quinten and Lucy always make you feel better."
From X4378x: "My dogs Brenna and Scully help me out at home in my art studio!"
From Feeny: "Nash and Luna in their usual positions on the TV room sofa."
From Ykchick: "Design and dogs go hand in hand ... we always think about how the dogs will 'work ' with whatever design choices we make. In particular for flooring, furniture and window treatments (what might they chew, tear up, and will the dog fur make it a pain to clean?). Here is a picture of our whippet Jack enjoying a sunny afternoon in a vintage Bertoia chair."
From Jetium: "Milo, the handy helper, has been covered in paint more than once. Lily will always tell you what she likes."
From Treeparlor: "I'm a dogwear designer, and my greyhounds Edie (on the couch) and Coen (on the floor) come to work with me every day. Here we are in my studio in an old textile mill."
From Cmh12: "La vie est douce! Ollie, a 10-week-old blue Boston Terrier, naps in Oklahoma City."
From Evy: "Here's Miss Marple in all her cuteness."
From Liparifam: "Here's my Boo in her favorite lounging spot on the sectional — in the living room but looking through the doorway ahead of her into the kitchen and, if she turns her head to the side, out the door to the backyard. Note the damp spot on the sofa under her leg — she's just come in from a dip in the pool."
From Ritamaru: "My husband, a landscaper, designed and installed our backyard for our dog JoJo. Her safety was the main concern. She was quite active to say the least. The yard can be divided into three areas: paved terrace, lawn, grotto. He installed a sand pit for JoJo to fulfill her digging instinct in dark and shady grotto. He created flower beds with a dog running through in mind instead of scolding the dog for being dog. He removed poisonous plants and thorny plants, even roses. He created rooms or paths [for] dog traffic. Yes, there were still mistakes we made and a few plants were destroyed as collateral damage. But overall my husband created a perfect organic yard for JoJo and us. It took her a day or two to learn she can go to the bathroom in any of the flower beds and not to pee on the lawn. The doggie door was the best investment for us and her. We never had to tell her what not to do in her backyard for the rest of her 15 years of life. Miss her."
From Ddelora: "We call our little Contessa 'The Sun Dog,' as she loves being outdoors, helping us in the garden, and lying in the sun,. She also reminds us to stop and enjoy the results of our labors as she stops to survey the results and snuggles down in the grass for a little sunbathing — alone, or with friends."
From Coolenme: "This is our Australian cattle dog, Jackson, when he was a puppy."
From Kaitlin84: "Archer is our 1-year-old old Lab rescue dog. Two hip surgeries later, he's stealing the cat's spot on top of the table. Since he steals everything, we have a very clean, very beige home."
From Allen architecture: "During a recent photo shoot, Camper, our Red Heeler, just couldn't stay out of the shot."
From Gmg12: "Bridgit is a wonderful cat sitter, and Howie doesn't seem to mind."
From Patricia Pelgrims: "They somehow think seats for human beings are more comfy than their own beds. This is Millie and Gabrielle (cat)."
From Tia3434: "Monty and Tallulah follow me everywhere."
From Align Design: "My design studio is in my home, and Linus, my killer watchdog/personal assistant, is always nearby."
From RL Morton & Associates: "Deja, the cocker spaniel at the door, keeps watch for visitors while loaning her chair to my son's Great Dane, Bentley."
From Lisabv2: "Apollo is my second rescued Weimaraner from Friends for Pets. He will be 8 in June. He has a knack for finding the most comfy spot in the house and making it his own. Some of his favorite lounging spots are curled up on the couch on top of pillows and under a cozy blanket, lounging in the still-warm dryer while I'm folding laundry and sleeping the sleep only dogs can after an outing at the beach. He's quite the character and brings love and happiness daily to my home."
From Sarahroehr: "My baby princess, Phoebe."
From Deb Welch: "This is Stanley, our English bulldog. He's ready to help clean up fallen branches after a 'spring' ice storm last week in Sioux Falls, South Dakota."
From Matthew Bowden: "Best buddies."

From Maureen Mahon: "Working at home with my trusty companion, Chloe."
From Downijd: "Lulu takes good care of the baby, especially during nap time."
From Handfish: "Mitty and her squirrel."
From Sweedies: "My dog Jack was the first to try out our new stairs (made by Brook Bannister, of chestnut wood from my trees). He took a few steps up, and had to check out the possibility as a napping spot. My dogs Jack and Queenie are my constant companions on the farm. They don't have any livestock to herd, so they basically herd me!"
From Daveyola: "This dog loves the new island; it's the first picture where he didn't just climb on top and put more scratches in this salvaged wood."
From Andrew Weisman: "Bruce the Chihuahua loves to hide in cozy places. Sometimes I find him on the couch, under a pile of blankets, in a box full of packing peanuts. He has a pretty big following on Instagram. Follow him @Bruce_The_Chuhuahua."
From Bungalowlove: "Our golden retriever Davis hiding in the garden."

From Mandy Pritty: "Be'la Wagamama relaxing on her antique throne ... oh and, hmmm, on the dining table!"
