We are delighted to welcome first time sponsor (and first time Curly Coated Retriever owners!), Follow My Lead, purveyors of custom Biothane leads and collars, the best collars and leashes you’ll ever own.
The challenge: Wet dogs seem to attract dryness at their owners’ expense. From sharing a drink they just had on someone’s knee, to shaking off the bath they just had, wet dogs impact what is around them! Your job is to find a creative way to translate this apparent rule of nature into a photo (and don’t forget to include the sign!).
The prize: A 20 foot longline and custom collar, both 100% customizable!
