Which of these dogs has won your heart?

IT’S DECISION TIME for these doggies. All three are perfect in their own way, but we need your help in picking a winner. 

In this month’s edition of Great Irish Bark Off sponsored by Allianz, we need you, our readers, to help us pick between these three truly adorable fellows. The winner of this poll will receive a €30 voucher for Irish pet shop pets.ie, in addition to the undying love of every reader who gets the chance to behold them. 

Get ready to ‘awwww’ your heart out when you see the dogs we’ve got in store for you today, and remember to vote for a winner in the poll at the bottom of the article.

Frankie is a golden retriever who is two-and-a-half years old. He’s described by his human as a ‘big hairy giant baby’. His humans say he loves ‘running around the fields in search of who knows what’ and that he ‘didn’t get the retriever part of the memo’. 

He thinks he’s a lapdog despite being six stone and having three younger feline sisters who love to annoy him. 

Nugget

Nugget is a five year old British bulldog, and as you can see from the selection of photos below, his favourite hobby is to snooze while using his human’s arms as pillows. Nugget’s owners describe him as ‘spoiled rotten’ and they say he loves to whine when he is bored.

Cooper

Cooper is an Irish red setter and 11 years of age. His owners say he loves lying on the garden stones when the sun is out, and chasing the bees on a summer’s day.

Cooper is an essential part of the family and loves to sit at the table and be part of the family gatherings.
