Who is the Coast’s cutest dog? Final round voting is open for 9 good boys, girls

It all comes down to this. A contest that began with 51 very good boys and girls is down to just 9 final contenders to be crowned the Sun Herald’s Cutest Dog of 2026.

The winner will follow 2024 winner Charlie and 2025 champion Eli as the cutest on the Mississippi Coast. Shug and Osa dominated the voting in Round 1, quickly running away from the pack. Round 2 is anyone’s to win, though, as voting is open now and will conclude at the end of the day on Sunday, June 28.
