We have a winner!


The votes are in…



Charley is the winner!


Charley is a four year old chocolate Lab with an amazing story. When he was two years old, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer). He lost one of his front legs, but none of his enthusiasm for life. He runs, jumps and counter-surfs.

Ellen, Charley’s mom, says, “Charley reminds us every day to cherish life and to enjoy each and every day… he is living with cancer, not dying from cancer!” 

Second place went to a beautiful Husky named Morgan.

Third place went to Sherak, an Afghan Mastiff, who was rescued by Reese, a Seattleite working in Afghanistan.

And while we didn't have a prize for fourth place, I want to give some TLC to Brixton, the retired Canine Companions for Independence lab who has helped raise five CCI puppies. His mom, Brenda, truly understands the concept behind Cru Vin Dogs -- she has decided to donate one dollar to CCI for every vote that Brixton received. Thanks, Brenda!

Thank you so much for everyone who participated. We had such a wonderful time hearing the stories and seeing the photos of all the participants. If you missed out this round, there will definitely be more competitions in the future, so keep your ears perked.Just be sure to like us on Facebook!
