Search for Kentucky’s Cutest Dog Begins as Voting Opens for 40 Adorable Contenders

Lexington, Kentucky — A delightful competition is underway as the search for the cutest dog in Kentucky heats up. Nearly 40 dogs have been nominated by readers in response to a recent call-out, and voting has now begun to narrow the field down to 16 contenders.

Starting today, subscribers are invited to participate in the preliminary elimination round. Voting is open until Tuesday, Nov. 26, at 5 p.m. EST. After this cut-off, the top 16 vote-getters will move on to a Sweet Sixteen style contest, with the ultimate winner being crowned as the cutest dog in the state.

To cast a vote, participants simply type “YES” into the designated field and select their favorite dog. It is important to note that once a vote is cast, it cannot be changed, and photos of the dogs cannot be enlarged for viewing.

This year’s contest follows the successful cutest cat poll that culminated in the crowning of Millie, a rescue cat with a compelling foster story. The upcoming dog contest not only offers a chance to highlight the adorable pets of Kentucky but also engages subscribers in a fun and interactive way.

Subscribers play a vital role in supporting local journalism. Increased participation helps bolster coverage of essential local issues, including government, entertainment, and investigative journalism. Those who wish to participate can become subscribers for as low as 99 cents for the first month, promoting the sustainability of reporting in the region.

After the Thanksgiving holiday, updates will be provided regarding the progress of the competition and the identities of the advancing dogs. The winner will be celebrated in a news story that highlights their charm and dedication, bringing recognition to their loving owners.

As the contest unfolds, voters are encouraged to engage multiple times, supporting their favorite canines throughout the exciting elimination rounds. With the countdown to the championship and ultimate crowning of Kentucky’s cutest dog, the furry competitors prepare for a spirited battle for votes.
