From looking at the pictures, I'm guessing that the concept was "Who's Cuter? A Bunch of Dogs or A Professional Athlete," and golly, the competition is tight.Lochte nabbed himself a gold medal in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay — but there's no word on whether he's snagged one of those sweet dogs. One olympian who did walk away with a new best friend is U.S. women's-gymnastics team captain Aly Raisman, who adopted Maltese-Shitzu mix Gibson. Lochte may be the one with the gold, but being privy to these photos makes all of us feel like winners.More photos from the shoot are available on the NBC Olympics website.
