Please allow us to introduce, out of 300 Western New York pups, the Final 50 contestants in Joy FM's Dog Days Of Summer contest!

These top dogs (get it?) have been broken up into groups of 10, so find your favorite among the photos below, then click the blue button underneath his or her photo to go to that group and vote. From now until Friday, August 16 at noon, Joy FM VIPs may vote once per day for their dog of choice. (If you’re not a Joy FM VIP yet, sign up now!)

To clarify, that’s one vote per day per group, so if you see a dog in Group 1 you want to vote for, as well as a dog in Group 5, you’ll be able to vote for each once per day. And if you run into any issues with voting, please feel free to contact our webmaster, who will assist you as soon as possible.

After voting ends, we’ll tally up the votes, and the 20 dogs with the highest overall vote totals will compete in the final round for that $500 cash prize, $100 to any Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society hospital and the doggie spa package from Canine and Company!
