We gave you a week to fetch your cutest dog pictures for inclusion in our first-ever Merf Muttness.  We needed 64 for our bracket. You submitted waaaay more than that. Your response was pawsome. Thank you!

But let’s be honest—this has probably been the ruffest task we’ve ever taken on. Narrowing down all those adorable pups to just 64? That’s paw-sitively im-paw-sible. Have you ever tried to look through hundreds of dog photos and pick just 64? It’s a true “tail-spin” of emotions!

So many fur-tastic dogs didn’t make the cut, but don’t worry—they’re still winners in our eyes! We based our decisions on the dog, their tail-wagging story, the cuteness factor of the photo, and when we just couldn’t choose, we let the bark decide (yes, eenie meenie miney mo was involved).

Now it’s time for YOU to get in on the action! Voting is open, and you can vote once a day, every day. Remember, Merf Muttness is all about fun, celebrating our furry friends, and having a howl of a good time—so let’s not get too “barked” up about the results.

Enjoy the pics, and get your votes in, paw-lease! 🐾
