My chow/retriever mix, Tank. We adopted him as a pup, from a rescue organization that acquired him from the local animal shelter. This is dedicated to all of the animals who don't have a voice. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a longstanding effort to save and help those poor creatures left behind.

Awwwwwww! He's so cute :o You made a good choice when you took this one! I have 2 rescue dogs myself ;) This is a lovely shot and I am again astounded that it did not do better! The ASPCA is not widely enough known and I would be willing to bet if you sent them this shot as a promotional with some text, they would use it. It is great.
The way I read this - this dog has an incredibly trusting and almost needy look to him - your acronym represents prevention of cruelty to these very sweet and gullible critters. In other words, I think you definitely succeeded in meeting the challenge.
