OK, now that you've had a chance to look at some of the photos GalleyCat readers sent in to help celebrate the "dog days" of August, it's time to pick your favorite picture of the day. (If you sent in a photo and don't see it in today's batch, don't worry; I've got just as many pics lined up for Friday.) The polls are going to be open until 12:01 a.m. (Eastern) Monday morning, so the owners have all weekend to organize their friends into voting drives. On Monday, the most popular dogs from today and tomorrow's groupings will face each other and we'll see who turns out best in show. I'm still pinning down the actual prize, but if the one I have in mind comes through, it's going to be really cool.

As was the case for last month's cat competition, the poll and a full gallery of today's dogs can be found in the second half of this post.
