We love dogs. You love dogs. So it seems only obvious that we both love pictures of your dogs. Vote on the area's cutest pooches! The one with the most votes wins bragging rights of Cutest Pup in the 'Burbs!
UPDATED, March 26, 10:30 p.m.
Patch is pleased to announce the pooch deemed "Cutest Pup in the 'Burbs" is ... (drum roll, please) ... CHARLIE MURPHY!
Congrats to Charlie and his owners!
----------------------------------------------------
South Suburb folks sure love their dogs.
Dozens of Patch readers submitted pictures of their pups in honor of National Puppy Day March 23. Now, it's time for you to choose the cutest!
Technically, some of these entries weren't puppies—but we know "puppy" is in the eye of the beholder. They'll always be your babies and we're so glad you shared with us!
Patch has weeded out the duplicates and nameless pooches, for a field of 34 hopefuls. Take a look at their pictures and then vote in our poll! The voting period will be open until Monday at 9 p.m. The winner will get bragging rights as Cutest Pup in the South 'Burbs!
Think we got it wrong? Tell us why in the comments section below or add a photo to our gallery!
To upload a photo of your dog, just click on the "Upload Photos and Videos" button underneath the photo in the rop right of this article. It's as easy as that.
And after you've uploaded your photo, be sure to leave a comment about why you love your puppy.
Power to the puppies!

"Sparky the Silky Terrier" is a typo... His name is Melvin!

Unfortunately, there's no way to edit the poll without losing the votes thus far. But I inserted an editor's note into the caption for Melvin, that we goofed and called him by the wrong name in the poll. Apologies for the typo—there were so many pooches!

I voted for Baxie since he's my dog. But if I lived in Chicago and had multiple votes I'd vote for Max too!

Lauren ~ I am certain that your intentions of this poll was for fun, but with that said it is sad that a few people have to stuff the ballot box to win. Maybe in the future Patch should consider not having a poll and just post pictures or in the case of pizzas just ask peoples opinion. Just saying!!!!

These are all wonderful dog pictures that have been posted and I think we are all winners for taking the time to show off our pets, but most importantly taking care of them and loving them!!!

Agreed, Blackhawks Fan! It's just a fun contest and chance for people to get involved. Everyone's pooches are pretty darn cute! And it's wonderful to see and hear how much owners love them!

I blame my psycho family and facebook friends for all the votes. It wasn't me I swear! I actually voted only once and I voted for Bo.

Doesn't anyone recall the "Person of the Year" poll? It's obvious there's no merit on these things...just how many people you know. Definitely a cute idea though with the puppies!

Sarah - same thing happened with the pizza poll. But at least we get to see lots of cute puppies with this one! :-)
I have no connection to any of these, but Peyton is the cutest one to me!!!
