It’s time to exercise your right to VOTE! No, it’s not the presidential elections, but just as important. After a pawsome New Yorkie Runway Casting Call, the top ten finalists have been chosen and their audition videos have been posted below.
Your job should you decide to accept it is to watch each video and vote for your favorite. For your vote to count, you must officially vote below. And you can only vote once. But you can send all your family, friends, and co-workers to vote. The pup and their human with the most votes, combined with the judges scores, will be the winner. Voting will end on Friday, February 3rd, 2012 at midnight.
The lucky 2-legged and 4-legged winner will be invited to walk the runway with celebs and NYC personalities at the New Yorkie Runway Doggie Fashion Show on Friday, February 10th, 2012, a two night stay at the pet friendly New Yorker Hotel, two tickets for humans to attend the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, an autographed Angel On A Leash book by David Frei, the voice of Westminster and an official New Yorkie Runway hat. The clock is ticking . . . so go VOTE now!
