Hail to our winner
Meet our June winner and finalists in the Independent on Saturday’s May Pet of the Month competition.
This month, it’s Hail, a two-year-old, red-nosed pitbull from Shallcross who wears the crown.
Hail’s mum says she is the sweetest and most affectionate pup you will ever meet. “We are blessed to have her as part of our family. If you meet her, she will break every stereotype you have of the breed and make you understand how much these beautiful dogs have to offer. They are loving, loyal, intelligent and protective.”
Plus its Hails birthday today, so it is fitting to wish our prize winner an awesome birthday.
Hail wins an exciting new prize open to all pet winners this year – an exclusive photoshoot from pet photographer Tilanie Grote worth R1 500.
