COOK COUNTY, IL — We asked for the best shots of your beloved pets this Fourth of July, and judging by your submissions, there were a plethora of patriotic pooches and faces ready for smooches this Independence Day! Pups by far stole the show with their Fourth fashion shows, but you sent us a few surprises. There's even a lovable Lab looking for a home.

These babies are just begging for a hug.

Momma Bunny and Thumper, Lily, Snoopy Wicks and Molly are ready for the 4th of July.

How we all feel after Thursday's festivities.
