HAS your dog got what it takes to be a supawstar?
Today The Sun launches this year’s Pup Idol, our search for the UK’s cutest canine.
THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED
The winner will be chosen by our celebrity judges and the top dog’s owner will receive £1,000, plus a pet portrait by The Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards and an interview on Kate Lawler's Virgin Radio UK show.
Two runners-up will get £50 each.
On our judging panel are two famous dog-lovers and a celebrity canine — Virgin Radio’s Kate Lawler, 36, and Britain’s Got Talent winner Ashleigh Butler, 21, along with her incredible dancing dog Pudsey.
Kate, the owner of adorable six-year-old border terrier Baxter, says: “I’m so excited to be part of Pup Idol. Dogs don’t necessarily have to be perfect to be beautiful — a lopsided ear or wonky smile just adds to their personality.”
Ashleigh adds: “I’ll be looking for personality in each photo and championing the golden oldies. And Pudsey will be looking for a dog who looks like good fun — the kind of pup he can have a nice runaround with in the park.”
Get your entry in fast. The competition closes on February 11, and it’s dog eat dog.
