We asked for it, and you provided it: canines in all manner of clothing, brrrraced for a Minnesota winter. From miniature Pinschers to whippets, from a few accessories to full-body wool armor, readers provided snappy snapshots of their nattily attired pets.

As the photos show, some Minnesota dogs embrace winter outerwear, while others are rather stoic about it and a few make it clear that, as Golden Valley's Stephen R. Monson says of his pal Maestro, a golden Lab, "this is probably why he hates winter."
