TUCSON - Think your dog is a star? How about a cover mutt? Tucson Lifestyle magazine is looking for a 'Cover Dog'!

The magazine is hosting a citywide search for Tucson's Top Dog. Your dog could be on the cover of the May 2012 issue. If you think your canine is a contender, join Tucson Lifestyle, the Humane Society of Southern Arizona (HSSA) and celebrity judges on Saturday, Feb. 18, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at La Encantada (Skyline & Campbell).

Besides the cover dog contest, there will be a Pet Expo with a variety of products and services, vaccinations and microchipping provided by the HSSA, activities for pets and people, adoptable dogs and cats at the Humane Society's PAWSH store and much more.

Canine candidates will pose for a digital photograph, which will be reviewed by a panel of celebrity judges including Miss Pima County, Avery Wagner; KVOA's Kristi Tedesco; MIX FM's Mrs. Grant and Scott Barker, editor of Tucson Lifestyle. The winner will be notified by phone and must be available for a private cover photo session within two weeks of winning.

Register early at www.hssaz.org for either the regular entry or a VIP entrance time and special package deal. If computers aren't your thing, don't worry, you can also register at the event. The entry fee is a donation of $10 or more per dog. You may also purchase a mock cover of Tucson Lifestyle magazine featuring your dog for $30. Proceeds from this one-of-a-kind event benefit the HSSA and the animals in its care.
