The past few weeks has seen East Coast FM searching far and wide for the county’s cutest pet. There have been pint size pups as well as big dogs and cats of all colours as well as less common pets such as turtles, rabbits, pigs, sheep and even a hedgehog or two from around the county. Almost 1,000 pets entered to win the coveted title. The finalists are were selected based on Facebook ‘likes’ and the thoughts of East Coast FM’s judging panel. The winner was crowed on Thursday 20 which was the cute dog Molly the Collie.
Speaking to the Wicklow Voice, East Coast FM Program Director Mark Robinson said that the response has been outstanding, but not surprising. “Let’s face it, everyone thinks their pet is cute, or the cutest, so in one respect every pet is a winner but only one can wear the crown of Wicklow’s Cutest.” Professional pet photographer Brian McNulty from Digievents.ie is supplying a magnificent 16 x 20 print of the winner valued at €600, along with the prestige of being Wicklow’s Cutest Pet.
