Cincinnati Bell Directories Announce Top Dogs

Cover Dogs Chosen for the Companion Directories

CINCINNATI, March 12 /PRNewswire/ — After an enthusiastic response from pooch lovers across the city, the search for the community’s favorite companion has ended with not one, but two winning canines to be on the cover of the Cincinnati Bell Companion Directories for Hamilton County and Northern Kentucky.

The Cincinnati Cover Dog Search grand prize winners, announced today, will be awarded $1,000 each, along with their dog’s photo featured on the cover of the Cincinnati Bell Hamilton County and Northern Kentucky Companion Directories. Judith Pepin’s Bella, a pug, earned 1,415 votes and was named the Cover Dog for Hamilton County.

Cathy Rudert’s Chaps, a basset hound, was named the Cover Dog for Northern Kentucky with 1,967 votes.

The eight weekly winners were Chaps, Bella, Jakson, Kingston, Nitro Fish, Sadie and Rowdy. Each will receive $250.

Pet owners submitted snapshots of their canine companions at www.cbyp.com. From pugs to poodles, the site received more than 2,000 photographs of Cincinnati’s top dogs. Events were held at the Red Dog Pet Resort & Spa, located at 5081 Madison Road, Cincinnati, Ohio, and at Pet Suites, located at 620 Holly Lane, Erlanger, Ky. More than 85,000 votes were cast during the length of the contest, which ran through midnight, Feb. 28, 2009.

“We are very pleased with the community’s response to the Cincinnati Cover Dog Search. We’re excited to showcase the winning canines on the cover of our companion directories for the first time, and we look forward to next year’s contest,” said Mike Webster, Cincinnati Division Manager.

The companion version of the Cincinnati Bell Directories is the perfect, travel-sized resource for people-on-the-go. Available in the coming months, it fits neatly in briefcases, cars and other locations outside the kitchen. The comprehensive Companion Directory includes the same best-in-class information found in Cincinnati Bell’s standard-sized directories, including easy-to-use specialty sections such as the automotive, home improvement, lawyers, wedding, Internet and dining and entertainment guides–except in a smaller, more portable size.
