2011 was quite the year, wasn't it? The world saw major shifts in government, the rise of new stars and the passing of some old ones, and all kinds of changes around the globe. Because we're all about pets at Pet Place, we also paid attention to the goings-on in the animal world. Who could forget the birth of Siku the polar bear, or Hickory the Scottish Deerhound's Best in Show win at Westminster?

2011 also brought us many adorable, funny, and touching dog videos. Below are the top 5 most-viewed dog videos chosen by Pet Place readers.
