Congratulations to Dax! He's a finalist in Jonesboro Occasions 2015 Cutest Pet Photo Contest, and he's counting on your votes to win!

"My name is Dax. Cary Qualls is my owner. I live in Jonesboro. I am a 100% duck dog! I am a water crazy Chocolate Labrador Retriever. I am 1 year old. One of my many awesome tricks is for my daddy to throw a toy in the pool and I dive to the bottom and bring it back to him. Please vote for me! Just keep hitting the like button. You know you want to."

A big thank you to everyone who submitted a photo to our annual Cutest Pet Photo Contest. We had a record 325 entries, so it was very difficult to narrow down the submissions. After careful consideration, we decided on these top 20 local pets; from here on, it’s up to you!

IMPORTANT VOTING INSTRUCTIONS: Each of the 20 photos will have its own post on Jonesboro.com. On the bottom of each pet photo post, there is a place to rate it between one and five stars. The winner will be determined by the highest average star score. Voting ends at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 23. The winners will be published in the August issue of Occasions.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 870.931.0012, email us at audrey@jonesborooccasions.com, post it on our Facebook page (Jonesboro Occasions) or tweet it to us @JboroOccasions.

Thanks so much, and good luck to all our finalists!
