TEN dogs are up for the coveted title of Clarks Village’s canine executive officer (CEO), and its now up to the public to decide the winner.
The contest will award just one pup the prestigious ‘CEO’ role, in charge of all things dog-related at the Somerset shopping outlet after attending the dog-friendly Pawsome Pooch event.
Hundreds of pet portraits were taken by professional pet pup-arazzi photographers at the Clarks Village event and judges have now revealed the final shortlist of dogs in with a chance of scooping the prize.
