Members of the Welsh parliament are battling it out for the “Pawblic” vote, in the first Senedd Dog of the Year competition.
Politicians in Cardiff Bay and their dogs will go paw-to-paw to see which canine contender has the “winning personality” on May 23.
Dogs of all shapes and sizes, regardless of breed, or “pawlitical” persuasion, will be strutting their stuff with their MS owners in Britannia Park, Cardiff, to see who will be crowned “top dog”.
The 2024 contenders are:
– Jane Dodds, Lib Dem MS for Mid & West Wales and her Greyhound, Wanda
– Jack Sargeant, Labour MS for Alyn & Deeside and his Cavalier King Charlies Spaniel, Coco
– James Evans, Conservative MS for Brecon & Radnorshire and his Cocker Spaniel, Bonnie
– Darren Millar, Conservative MS for Clwyd West and his Whippet, Blue.
The MSs taking part will be asking for the public to vote for them online, while judges on the day will judge “the contestants on their good dog deeds and winning personalities”.
