ALT a person in leggings and a t-shirt squats down to hug a black dog with white toes and big floppy ears. there’s an open kennel behind them, suggesting the dog might have just gotten to climb out, and the person in smiling wide. mission accomplished. the gray and red van in the background says “Forsyth Humane Society”

ALT people work together to unload a kennel with a dog inside from the side of an airplane. the plane’s tail is blue with a red paw print symbol. one person is wearing gloves and a fluorescent vest, and the other is in a t-shirt and smiling at the slightly nervous pup inside. the dog is mostly white with a dark splotch of fur over one eye and covering their other eye and ear.

ALT a chocolate-and-tan bully dog is leaping away from the lime green grinch in the background, front paws fully off the ground and tail in a crooked shape. the dog’s face has an expression of surprise and concern, two little tan dots for eyebrows furrowed together over a pair of wide eyes. the grinch’s face is unmoving, because it’s a mask. but still.

ALT a quintessentially marmaduke-looking great dane—tan with a black face—runs past the camera in profile, their feet all gathered into a pretzel beneath them mid-stride, and their tail curling around in a wag. in the background, a blurry, bright green grinch in a santa jacket is raising their arms up and making creepy fingers as if to chase the dog.

ALT a light brindle dog races toward the camera, ears flopped out in motion. the grinch has one leg lifted mid-stride, and you can see the little red and white-trimmed santa booties they have on their feet. their long, creepy, green fingers are still outstretched in a menacing pose, but the dog’s totally got this.

ALT a brown dachshund runs screaming from the grinch prowling around in the background. the dog’s mouth is open, their eyes are wide, showing a bit of the whites, and their legs almost appear to be doing that comical flintstones scramble as they sprint as fast as their tiny legs can take them.

ALT a slate gray staffordshire bull terrier puppy is lying down in some grass. behind him, flowering hedges fill the horizon, and two empty chairs sit in a little nook off a path. the pup’s paws are crossed delicately, one on top of the other, and his deep blue eyes are looking up and to the right. his tail curls out in a little lowercase “r” from his body.

ALT the left third of the frame is taken up by a moss-covered tree trunk. out from behind the trunk, right in the middle of the photo, pops a corgi puppy. his eyes are wide and not looking in the same direction, his ears are sticking out sideways in a straight line, and his front paws are resting gently on the mossy tree. he’s definitely unprepared for this interaction.

ALT a small reddish pup with white fur around her face and chest is resting comfortably in a brown backpack worn by a person who’s facing away from the camera. she has one arm crooked out of the main pouch, and the dog’s front left paw is tucked into a side pouch where a water bottle or umbrella would normally be. she’s squinting at you just a little, and her nose and lip are almost imperceptibly curled upward in either pity or disgust.

ALT a blond chihuahua with long fur extending off the sides of his face and no visible ears squints at the camera with a crazed expression. his tongue is poking straight out of his mouth, his lumpy head is cocked slightly to the side, and his eyes appear to be drifting in different directions. he has a tag dangling from a loose collar, but if this is what you call “lost,” he doesn’t wish to be found.

ALT a grayish brown pittie pup reclines in a fluffy gray dog bed in the passenger seat of a car. she has her head thrown back and is smiling blissfully at the softness that surrounds her. through the window, a little cotton ball cloud floats by in the sky.

ALT a small black puppy sits on a purple yoga mat, surrounded by brightly colored balls and toys. his fur is so dark you can’t make out many features, but two little wisps of fur flare out from the sides of his head, and his nose and eyes reflect a bit of light. he’s looking up at you expectantly.

ALT chocolate brown dachshund puppy with tan eyebrows, snoot and paws stands on hardwood floor. he shakes with his right paw in the outstretched hand of a human whom he's looking up at with dark hazel eyes.

ALT the brown and tan dachshund puppy now shakes the human's hand with his left paw. he looks like a shaking pro, but he's using all of his focus in this moment, and his pink tongue sticks out from his mouth in a tiny blep.

ALT a close-up photo of a red dachshund looking wide-eyed over his shoulder. his neck is wrinkled from craning backwards, and his lip is curled up slightly in disgust. he’s being carried, hopefully briskly, by a human whose face is just out of frame.

ALT a tricolor miniature australian shepherd puppy looks up at you from a piece of sidewalk. she has one brown eye and one blue one, and she’s smiling a bit, showing her tongue. her ears are black and their fur is a little disheveled, so the previous passersby probably paid in scritches and head pats.
