We are so excited to announce the winners of the First Annual Dog and Cat of the Year Contest! With over 3,000 votes cast in the Facebook contest this past week, the race was tight between the many great dogs entered in the contest, each definitely a winner.

We are proud to announce our Dog of the Year winner:

Dog of the Year: Surf Dog Ricochet

Surf Dog Ricochet is our Dog of the Year! Ricochet, shown here as the AKC/Eukanuba ACE Award recipient for canine excellence in the category of exemplary companion, is known for her incredible fund raising talents. (Recently this surfing dog has raised enough money to purchase over 2,000 toys to be delivered this week to the Rady Children’s Hospital and the Helen Woodward Animal Center!) Follow along with Ricochet’s fund raising efforts on her Facebook page and her website!
