Every year we ask our to share the best shots of their number one adventure buddy. As our audience has grown, so has the quality of replies. Big or small, these furry friends prove that when it comes time to hit the trail, the lake, the slopes, or wherever you get outside, dogs cannot be beat. Here are 20 of our favorites.
