We asked you to submit your stories. We asked you to vote on the selected finalists. Now, without further ado, the winners and still champions! (Say that in your best boxing announcer voice).
For about the past year, I’ve been devoting Sundays to rescue dogs throughout the country. Working with the shelters and rescues listed on PetFinder’s Shelter Center, I’ve chosen one organization from each state and featured one of their adoptable dogs.
