And the Cutest Dog in San Mateo is....

This was such a fun contest to run. We here at San Mateo Patch loved seeing all the adorable dogs in the photos our readers uploaded, and it was fun keeping up with everyone's votes in the comments section. We're so glad so many votes came in, because if it had been up to us to choose the cutest dog, there's no way we could have chosen!

Thanks so much to everyone for participating!

Now, for the winner.

Drum roll, please.....

Congratulations to Daisy May the dachsund for being our winner of the

And congratulations to Daisy May's "mommy," Amanda Ford, who entered her!

The "runner-up" dogs who also received many votes were Coco the Pomeranian, and Mochi.

Amanda and her adorable pooch, Daisy May, get to choose a $25 gift card to either , a doggie day spa and gift shop on El Camino, or , an independent pet store on 41st Avenue. We thank the owners of these stores for their support and, since Patch always love to support local small businesses, we hope our readers will patronize these great stores in the future.
