Thanks to everyone who participated in last Friday’s photo caption contest. We received some great submissions, but our favorite was from Nancy James, who wrote, “Actually, I WOULD prefer the pat-down. Start with a pat on the head, please.” Nancy has won an IndependentTraveler.com travel mug.

Runners-up that we also loved:

“What do you mean, I have to stay home to watch the house?” — lee

“Can I come? Can I come?” — Christiane Austin

“Hey, I can be a bad dog,
But I love you like crazy,
And here’s my bag packed,
So go for a ride, maybe?” — Sarah

Do you have a funny or bizarre photo that we could use for a future caption contest? Send it to us at feedback@independenttraveler.com. (Please put “Caption Contest” in the subject line.) If we feature your photo on our blog, we’ll send you a prize.
