Every year National Geographic sweeps us off our feet with stunning nature shots, showcasing the beauty and the sublime of the animal kingdom. The Kennel Club Dog Photographer of the Year embraced the same concept, but chose a subject that's closer to home – dogs.

Dog Photographer of the Year 2018 winners were announced on July 16th. The contest included 10 categories, e.g. "Assistance Dogs and Dog Charities", "Dogs at Play", "Dog Portrait", etc. While most categories had to do with the content of the photograph, there was also a category called "Young Pup Photographer", for photographers that are 11 years and younger. The photographs celebrate the canines in many of their aspects, from their goofiness to their sense of duty. Scroll down below to check out the winners and don't forget to comment and vote for your favorites!

Pity the person who has never known a dog's love, for they will never really know true and selfless love at all.

10. And to be fair, they can be a challenge - but you'd be hard-pressed to find sweeter, funnier dogs.

Some people (mostly Republican types) think they're stupid. But it's just 'selective obedience'.
