Enter Your Dog to be Casper’s 2014 ‘Scoop the Poop’ Mascot [PHOTO CONTEST]

We all love dogs, and all the gifts they give – well, all except one.

Dog poop that hasn't been picked up can be washed into storm drains, nearby waterways – and can be a major source of bacteria and parasites. (Plus, it’s really not fun to step in.) We’re teaming up with the City Of Casper to get this important message across – whether you walk your dog on public streets or let it roam your backyard – always remember to scoop the poop!

We need your help finding the official 2014 spokesdog for the City’s “Scoop The Poop” campaign – this lucky canine will be plastered around town on billboards, plus receive a photo shoot with your dog, a 20x24 canvas mounted print from Beartooth Photography, and a $100 gift card from Tails of the City!

Just upload your dog’s photo by May 11 – all entries get posted here for a public vote at noon May 12 through May 25, with the winning pooch announced on May 26.

Go ahead – make your dog famous, and help spread the word – "Scoop the Poop, Everybody's Doing It!"
