Dodgy, Ida’s rescued Austrian Shepherd/Lab mix, has just been selected as one of three finalists for the title of King of the 19th annual Canine Carnival, sponsored by the Animal Protective Association of Missouri.
When Ida submitted Dodgy into the contest she included this:
I rescued Dodgy off of craigslist. He was underweight, had worms, and mange. I worked with the vet for about six months and we finally got rid of the mange. Even through all of the medication and losing all of his hair in the winter, Dodgy was a sweet bundle of unconditional love. I don’t know that there is anything more satisfying than saving a life, and Dodgy certainly doesn’t let it go unrewarded.
Online voting for Canine King and Queen will begin Friday, August 21 and will continue through 5 pm on Wednesday, September 16, 2009.
NEW UPDATE: The online voting is up and running!
Since Dodgy is one of the finalists, he will be honored on stage during the opening ceremony of the APA Canine Carnival at 10 am, Sunday, October 4 at Tilles Park in Ladue, either as King or a member of the Royal Court. We will know the voting results after September 16.
Dodgy appreciates your vote and would give you a big kiss if he could!
