Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Yes, we know it’s just a dog with snow on its face, but is this a sight you’d want to encounter in a dark alley … or anywhere else?

Anyway, look at that face (and that tongue) and write us a funny caption. Send it to starfyi@gmail.com. Put “1/27 caption contest” in the subject line, and be sure to include your name, city and phone number.

Deadline for entries: 11:59 tonight.

The winning caption scores a $25 gift card. The winner and runners-up will appear here next Friday.
