The contest is for non-fiction stories of dog heroes, favorite dogs, and interesting or funny dog stories. The winner will receive $125, second place $75, and third place $50. Fourth and fifth places will each receive $25. Winning stories (and up to ten honorable mention stories) will be posted on doghero.com and considered for publication in an anthology of dog stories. Read last years winning stories!

Please send this page to any friends who might be interested in submitting a story.
