Anyone who has a dog for very long knows they offer daily reminders about loyalty, patience and love, and can lift our mood with a look and a wag.
Designers, contractors, architects and DIYers: We'd love to see how your dogs make your house a home or keep you company in the workshop or on the job. We want to meet them!
Please post your best portrait of your dog in the Comments section below. We'll be featuring some of the best photos in an upcoming story for the homepage.
Update: See the follow-up feature and add more photos here!
