HELP US PICK THE COVER

Because we genuinely can’t decide.

Barkology is a charity portrait book project featuring Melbourne’s most loveable Oodles, raising funds for Pets Of The Homeless, an organisation that supports people experiencing homelessness to stay together with their pets.

We photographed Oodles of Oodles for the 2026 edition. Now we need a cover. We’ve narrowed it down. We’ve debated it. We’ve stared at our screens until our eyes crossed.

We cannot decide.

So it’s over to you.

The image with the most votes becomes the 2026 Barkology cover.

Scroll through the contenders below, pick the one that stops you, and cast your vote. It takes about 12 seconds. Possibly less if you’re decisive. (We are not.)

And yes, there’s something in it for you.

Everyone who votes can choose to go into the draw to win a Voter Prize, including a full Photobat portrait session. That’s humans, dogs, the whole chaotic family — even the cat if they’re feeling cooperative.

  • Your Photobat session fee covered — $275 value
  • One 8×12 matted fine art print — $185 value
  • $200 artwork credit towards wall art, digital collections or print collections

Total prize value: $660

Voting closes 5 pm on Thursday 12 June 2026.

The winning cover will be revealed at our big doggy playdate to launch the Barkology book in early July. Details coming soon — watch this space.
