Dogster Photo Contest: Dogs of the Week Winners (August 14, 2025)

This Week’s Winner

Name: Ivy
Breed: Aussie Chi
IG: @ivyleaguelifesaving
Fun Fact: Meet Ivy—CEO (Canine Executive Officer), professional heart thief, and part-time sass queen. She’s beauty, brains, and bold enough to raise the roof and her paw for a high five—if there’s a pepper involved. 🌶️ She steals every room she walks into, and I’m just her assistant with a clipboard. I study animal-human bonds, and owning a dog can add 15 years to your life… which makes sense, because Ivy is the reason I’m still here. Cute, clever, and a little dramatic—just how we like our icons and with today’s society, I honestly believe that she is cognitively advanced because she does clever things sometimes and gets away with it by tilting her head.”

Most Expressive

Name: Harper
Breed: Rough Collie
IG: @toltjenbruns
Fun Fact: “Harper is a 1 1/2 year old rough collie who I adopted from South Dakota. She loves to pose for photos and will literally run to a spot and plop down. Put a cookie in front of the camera and Harper is ready to smile. She’s loves chasing her brother cat, Milo and her best friend is cousin Willow a German Shepherd.”

Cutest

Name: Flynn
Breed: Dachshund/Terrier mix
Fun Fact: “Flynn is a rescue. One of the smartest dogs I have ever had. Leaves a toy outside and I ask him to go get his toy – he comes back with the same toy (not just any toy). Just a great all around dog.”

Sleepiest

Name: Cooper
