Welcome to Day 8 of the #dogsofsteemit Challenge

It's been so much fun hosting this challenge and a great excuse to look at so many dog pictures and posts every single day (not that I needed an excuse anyway). Today's compilation brings quite a few new participants with a special quirky entry at the end that I've included because it made me laugh.

I would really love it and appreciate any support from any dog-lovers out there to spread the use of the #dogofsteemit hashtag! Let's make this tag a nice and easy way to search for all dog-related posts on Steemit!

Our "Dogs of the Day"!

Say hello to "Gaia" - @veroko

Needles from the Vet aren't so bad, right? Treats help make up for it I suppose

"Jovi" relaxing on the couch - @bozz

Jovi loves going for walks, sleeping and chasing Squirrels. Sounds like my kind of dog!

Check out my original post about the #dogsofsteemit challenge or read below for all the info!

Why #dogsofsteemit? 🐶🐕

I absolutely LOVE dogs and wanted to start a #dogsofsteemit challenge to celebrate these beautiful, loving and selfless animals. The aim of this challenge is to promote the use of the #dogsofsteemit tag so that all Steemians can easily search for endless doggo pictures, posts, videos and stories.

I often find myself getting lost in the endless dog-related content plaguing Facebook & Instagram - so why not bring the same to Steemit!?!

To help spread the word and use of the #dogsofsteemit tag I would love to host a 14-day challenge with prizes to the best photos and/or videos of your dog! It could be your own dog, your friend's dog, your family's dog! As long as it's original content and not a plagiarised stock photo taken off the internet.

---

Prizes! Everybody LOVES Prizes!

This will be a 14-day challenge to begin with and I will see how it goes after that and change rewards accordingly if needed. Please help me spread the word and grow this tag so I can keep on rewarding dog pictures & posts! I'm still a minnow so prizes may be small now but I hope to increase prizes when I can to encourage further participation! 😄

• Daily 1st Prize: 1 SBI (@steembasicincome) sponsorship every day
• Daily Runner-up Prizes: 5 x 0.1 SBD
• Special mentions & upvotes to any other favourites
• Total prize pool: 14 SBI sponsorships & 7 SBD over 14-day challenge
• If I don't have enough "favourite" dog posts I will roll over the prizes and extend the challenge

---

Participation Rules
