And the Winners Are...

People's Choice: Finley

Finley

Finley is a 6 month old mini-golden doodle who lives in the heart of Eastport. She is eager to sit, stay, paw, high-five, roll over, walk, and spin, but absolutely hates being told to lay down. Finley loves ice cubes, socks, digging holes in the sand, and visiting with her neighbors Captain Hook, Hazel-Pearl, and Barney. Her guilty pleasure is ice cream from Salty Paws for dinner and a tomahawk bone special from O’Leary’s for dessert. More than anything, she loves meeting new humans. She gets so excited and pees on the floor every time. If you see Finley downtown, stop and say hi! Submitted by Caitie Laughlin

Judges’ Pick: Mia

Mia

Mia is a 7 year old rescue from the SPCA. She was my grandmother's dog that she rescued and when she passed away I took her to stay with me. She was a "wild child" when I first got her but she has learned to behave but still will always have her spunk. She lives with her SPCA rescue cat brothers and she is a great friend when foster animals come to stay with us. She loves hiking, playing with her brothers and of course food of any kind. She also likes to join in and sing when she hears the Happy Birthday song! Submitted by Christina Spinetta
