We all think our pets are THE most adorable, precious and smart ones around (which makes us sound alarmingly like stage moms and dads). Here’s your chance to prove it to the world.

The search is on for a pup that will be the new face (maybe that should be new muzzle) of ALPO, a name synonymous with dog food. But the winner will need more than just good looks.

ALPO wants their new spokesdog to be a “meat maniac” – in their own words, “a loveable, everyday dog who has the most entertaining and memorable way of showing his excitement when dinner is served.”

You have until July 27 to enter, so hurry, hurry, hurry! Submit a home video of your dog in action by either snail mail or e-mail. Dog lovers preferring to sit on the sidelines can vote for their favorites, American Idol style. Click here for all the details.

The top dog will have his or her image featured on 2.5 million cans of ALPO. But wait, there’s more!
Other prizes include a trip to Hollywood for the winner and human posse, $10,000 in cash, a hometown celebration – and a year’s supply of ALPO.

And we already have a local girl in the running. Below is a video of Sissy, a Pomeranian from Boca Raton, showing that she will work it for food.
