How Does Voting Work?

Glad you asked. We take the integrity of this highly prestigious competition very seriously.

One Vote. One Dog. Per Device.

Each device gets exactly one paw to give — to one dog, per month. No login required; your vote is tracked by a browser cookie. Choose wisely. The dogs are watching.

Changed Your Mind? No Problem.

Click a different dog and your paw moves automatically — your previous vote is removed and the new one cast in one smooth, dignified motion. You can also click your chosen dog again to take the paw back entirely.

Votes Reset After 30 Days

Your vote cookie expires after a month, so you can vote again next month. Monthly support for your favourite floof is encouraged and appreciated.

Reactions Are Just for Fun

Emoji reactions don't count toward the vote tally — they're purely for expressing your feelings about a particularly spectacular dog. ❤️ away.

The Golden Paw Goes to the Winner

The dog with the most paws when the competition closes takes home the Golden Paw Trophy — and eternal bragging rights for their human.

Fair Play, Please

This is a community event. One device, one vote. We trust you — because Greyton is that kind of place. Don't make us regret it.
