Canine capers: February's photo challenge picks of man's best friend

The February Editors' photo challenge The theme for our February Editor's photo challenge was "Canine Capers." Not every great photograph needs to be serious or technically flawless. Sometimes the best images are the ones that make you laugh or cry. For this latest showcase, we turned our attention to “Canine Capers”, a celebration of dogs being their wonderfully chaotic selves. We asked you to share the moments that happen between the posed shots: the flying ears mid-sprint, the guilty looks after a toppled trash can, the unapologetic couch takeovers. What came back is a gallery full of personality, motion and mischief. As always, we received many more great photos than we can feature here. Our favorites, showcasing a diverse range of vision and talent, are presented in random order. Thanks to everyone who participated in this photo challenge.
