It’s Tuesday morning, Nov. 10, and Finnegan is setting the pace in Edenton’s Top Dog contest with 91 votes. Isabella “Izzy” follows with 62, while Gizmo holds third with 55.
But there’s a close race just behind them. Cricket has 50 votes, Frida Bonita is only two back with 48, and Nubby remains in the chase with 41. A few more supporters could change that running order.
Maggie and Mickey are tied at 12 votes apiece, followed by Baxter with 8 and Gracie with 7. Koa, Summer and Little Lady Bumblebee each have 5, while Diesel, with Mimi S., and Poppy have 3 each.
Now, let’s hear it for the dogs a little farther down the list. They have the faces, the charm and the wagging tails — they just need the votes.
Sir Jasper, Duke of Granville; Hayden; Mazie, with Marci; and Waylon & Willie each have 2 votes. Cody; Mazie, with Deb Good; Bear; Potato; Carl; Lola the Wonder Dog; Sadie; and Princess Holly each have 1.
And several entries shown in this morning’s standings are still waiting for their first vote: Enzo Adachi, Hamish & Mya, Hopkins, Runa, Stella, Bella, Max, Bruno, Ruby, Hopkins & Bear, Chance and Diesel, with Kathy Perry.
Don’t let a zero make you scroll past a wonderful dog. Your vote could be their very first — and every contender deserves a cheering section.
