Say hello to Goose, a golden retriever from Atlanta andGeditors. Her owner, Holland Cox, snapped the picture while vacationing on Isle of Palms, South Carolina, as the puppy had her first encounter with a ghost crab. (Happily, the standoff ended in a truce.) Thanks to all readers who took part; the nearly six thousand adorable entries made our job of picking the top dog wonderfully difficult.
