While scientists may debate what a dog is capable of feeling, we know that dogs have a range of emotions and some are extremely expressive. Sean Howard sent in some of his favorite images of the emotions of dogs. While preparing this post, I’ve been so entertained by these dogs that I decided to run the first Daily Dog Tag giveaway. I’d love to know what you think these dogs are thinking, please enter a comment below for a chance to win either a $50.00 gift certificate to Muttropolis or a $50.00 donation to your favorite 501 (c) (3) animal rescue organization.
Sean has more photos of dogs who aren’t afraid to show their emotions on his blog. Follow him on Facebook to see more of Sean’s creative projects.

Photo 4: What do you *mean* I’m not getting bacon?
Photo 5: You didn’t really just squeak that toy at me, did you? I want bacon.
Photo 6: Oh, there is no bacon? I don’t know how I will go on.
Photo 7: Ermehgahd! Did you just say you saved all the bacon for me?!
Those are awesome captions!
Photo one: “No pictures please – I’m in the witness puptection program!”
🙂 Love these! My Cara dog (who just celebrated her ten year rescue gotcha day yesterday!) has one blue eye like the dog in the last photo, but she looks very much like the dog in photos one and two 🙂
This contest is great

why would you think i had anything to do with the missing twinkies?
Some seem to say, I’m tired…can I’s go back to bed, others are like, really, again with the photos? Last one looks as if you’re taking away his favorite thing in the world!
A lot of those dogs look like they are super-skeptical as to the authority of the humans in the room. Several look like they’re questioning just what their motives are for taking pictures and whether there is anything in it for them. 🙂
