Photos: Meet the adorable finalists for the Observer’s ‘cutest dog in Charlotte’ contest
We had plenty of submissions for our “cutest dog in Charlotte” contest, which garnered nearly 34,000 votes.
Hobie, a three-year-old half-poodle who loves to play with his ball and can be “naughty” at times (at least according to his owners), was crowned the winner, but we still want to gush over the 19 other adorable pups in the running.
Meet the 20 lovable finalists.
