We had nearly two dozen captions submitted for the photo of a dog and toddler standing side by side, gazing out a glass door in last week's Caption This contest.

The Patch judges awarded title of best caption to Jill May for: "I thought YOU knew how to open the door!"

Both Jill and Debbie Gherardini Melzer, who submitted the photo, will get a digital copy of the photo with the caption affixed. You can click on the thumbnail above to see what it looks like.

For next week, we've got a little dog seeking shelter under a much bigger friend. You can start submitting your funniest caption ideas now.

Here’s how it works:

* In the comments section below, write in your best idea for a funny caption for this photo. Comments must be in by noon Friday.

* Both the caption writer and the reader who submitted the photo will get an emailed copy of the captioned photo.
