We love dogs. You love dogs. And we all know that with it's most excellent dog park and plenty of canine-catering places (Avon Lake Animal Clinic, Paws by the Lake Spoiled & Pampered Dawggy, Four Legged Fashions  and Landings Animal Hospital, Avon Lake loves dogs. So it seems only obvious that we both love pictures of your dogs.

That's why this week, in honor of National Puppy Day—that's right, a day dedicated to your little pup on March 23—Patch is soliciting photos of its readers and their furry friends.

Upload pictures of your puppy—or in some cases, puppies—and we'll host them in a gallery for all to see.

Of course there's a catch.

While uploading your photo, be sure to tell us your name, where you are from and the name of your pooch—and even a little bit about them if you feel so inclined. Then on Friday and throughout the weekend, we'll hold an Avon Lake vote for Best Puppy. The winner gets bragging rights as cutest pup in Avon Lake.

To upload a photo of your dog, just click on the "Add your own photos and videos" link underneath the photo in the rop right of this article. It's as easy as that.

And after you've uploaded your photo, don't forget to leave a comment about why you love your puppy.
