Posted 10:41pm on Thursday, Jul. 25, 2013We all think our pets are the most awesome dogs, cats or hamster who ever scampered across the earth on all fours. And now, it?s the time of year again to prove it, by entering your best-est buddy into DFW.com?s 5th annual Model Pet of DFW contest.
He or she could join the ranks of Bacon, Sacha, Isabelle, and last year?s winners (in three categories): Phizz the whippet therapy dog, General Sam Houston the cat, and longhorns Jilli Blu and Winnie Blu. {{more}}
As we did last year, we will award prizes to the top dog, top cat and top alterna-pet. (longhorns, reptiles, bunnies, guinea pigs and what-have-yous). Find out more by visiting DFW.com.
And as always, if you entered your pet in a previous year, you can submit him or her again, unless you?re the parents of a former winner.
So what makes a model pet? Maybe she?s the smartest in town. Maybe he?s the snuggliest. Maybe dear old Fluffy has done some heroic things in the past, like call 911 while you were choking on a chicken bone. Whatever the reason, we want to hear what makes your creature a model pet.
Here?s how to enter this year: At the link below, you?ll be able to upload a photo of your pet (in jpeg format), along with your contact information and a description of why you think your beloved creature is DFW?s most model pet.?Essays must be fewer than 300 words.
