Oh my lord , l am in shock never in a millions years did l expect this.

l don't really care about the money its the fact that Brax will be in a book and that what l am proud of. Treasured forever.


Oh by the way l cant remember which pic l entered, l no its was with my grandaughter Taykeeta. How silly that l cant remember.


Its one of these.

Or this one.

Those are so cute!! I love the tee-shirt in the first one.

That's awesome!!! Congratulations!!!:thumbs up You must be thrilled and so very proud!!! I know I would be!:D

Be careful! I know a few people who got this email, and it was a whole HOAX. Do not send ANY personal information. Sounds like "phishing" to me. Some people were asked to send money to the company so their pet would get a bigger page for the summer contest, and the book was never published. I beleive Snopes is now investigating it as a hoax.

Be careful! I know a few people who got this email, and it was a whole HOAX.

I don't want to burst your bubble, and I hope it is legit, but raingirl could be right, it could be a scam. I've gotten 2 of those letters in the mail. I believe it's a scam. I never sent any money, or correspondence, and yet I keep getting letters.

If it is legit, CONGRATS!

My cat won the friskies contest last year, and I never had to send any money. I even moved to another town, never updating my info for the contest, and the company tracked me down to give me the prize, and even then, there was alot of paperwork that needed to be notarized.

be very careful, we also won, to see if it was a hoax, we opened 5 different emails with hotmail and submitted photo's from magazines, all 5 also won. Just make really sure before you send them any money. To order the book, which you had to do, came to roughly $50. canadian.

Thanks for all your concerns, l have contacted them by phone today and they have reassured me its no hoax.:thumbs up


It was also comfirmed that the pic in the contest is Taykeeta and Brax in her pitty t-shirt.

Not to burst your bubble, but I think it's like those books of poetry where they declare every entrant a "winner" . . . not necessarily because they are out to steal your credit card (although that's always a risk), but because they want to con you into shelling out the $$$ to buy their book.

Congrats Tybrax, Shannon told me something about this! Whatever the outcome your pups always a winner here LOL ! The pics are great!:pawprint:
