Meet Florida’s Favorite Pets
Things got pretty hairy this fall at Flamingo when we opened our inaugural Floridogs & Friends Photo Contest. From puppies and pigs to pigeons and parrots, it was a fierce battle of wags, whiskers and wings, but two came out on top in the Editor’s and Reader’s Choice categories—Whiskey Boone and Luca. The two pups took home a gift basket from Woof Gang Bakery and the coveted—and first ever—titles of Florida’s favorite pets. Scroll to see a full list of the best pets across the Sunshine State.
