March 29 (UPI) — An Ohio therapy dog was named this year’s Cadbury Bunny after earning the most votes in the chocolate company’s annual contest.
Hershey’s announced Annie Rose, a 4-year-old English goldendoodle belonging to Lori Rahn, earned the most votes in Cadbury’s online contest to find this year’s clucking Easter Bunny.
Officials said Annie Rose is a therapy dog who spends time visiting nursing homes.
Annie Rose bested a field of finalists that included other dogs, a cat, a llama, a horse, a hedgehog, a bearded dragon, a parrotlet and a sugar glider.
The canine will now star in Cadbury’s annual Easter commercial and Rahn was awarded a $5,000 prize.
Rahn thanked supporters who voted for Annie Rose in a Facebook post.
“I’m so in awe of the support, love, excitement and votes you guys gave us,” Rahn wrote.
