Dog of the Day: Yoshi the Hopeful Corgi

This sweet pup was seemed very optimistic about his chances of getting some of the bagels that mom or dad was inside shopping for.

The photography contest is really starting to pick up steam. Thanks, everyone, and feel free to keep the submissions rolling in. Since I now have three entries for it, I am officially opening up a new category for felines, with its own t-shirt (which may even be a caturday supplement custom t-shirt!) and runner-up dog-or-cat-bandana. (Warning: cat may not like cat bandanas. Not responsible for scratchiness.) The San Francisco category is low on submissions right now, so please submit more!

Edit: Ran into this pup on my way though the city today, and it turns out his name is Yoshi, and his dad is a photographer! Check down in the comments section for some adorably awesome pics of this pup by a pro.

He looks a little down, but he was really staring fixedly into the bagel shop…

…until he noticed me with his finely-tuned ‘sucker radar’.

He really wanted to meet me.

Spotty nose! He has spotty lips too.

SQUIRREL! (Actually, I think it was CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT but that doesn’t scan.)

Aww. Puppydog eyes.

None of the ‘dog mood’ guides I’ve read have ever listed ‘one ear up and one ear back’. Perhaps it means ‘I am a goofball’.

Look at that haunch. What a great word: haunch! Haunch haunch haunch.
