From March 27th to May 6th, we accepted entries to our annual pet-cover contest, and we saw some of the cutest and cuddliest four-legged creatures in Wilmington. From our third-place winner, the extra-fluffy Samoyed dog Anunnaki, to the one and only cat entry, Lenny. We took votes for first, second and third places from encore’s official pet judges and encore’s Facebook fans to find the ultimate winner: Jazzy the Papillon! Read our interview with the vivacious little pup and about her love for the beach and her passion for chasing geckos and toads! Then, check out the six runners up (nine if you count brothers Will and Harry and Zeus and Hushpuppy) Thanks to all who entered, and we can’t wait to see next year’s pictures! Courtesy photos [more]
