Past Winners

In 2023 we launched our inaugural Cutest Pets on Parliament Hill Contest!

Cutest Pets on Parliament Hill Contest

Our esteemed panel of judges carefully selects the top ten finalists in each category before handing the leash over to the public for voting. Since the contest’s launch in 2023, Canadians have cast a fur-nomenal 12,848 votes to support these a-dog-able (and claw-some) contenders. Will your pet be the next top pet?

2024 Winners

2024 Cutest Dog
Walnut
Walnut is a great defender of democracy, a seasoned canvasser and a celebrity in his community, thanks to his kindness, acceptance and affection for everyone he meets. He is a staunch supporter of equal rights for all-legged creatures. In addition, he appreciates diverse cuisines and afternoon naps.
2024 Cutest Cat
Tabasco
Tabasco, an homage to the ubiquitous red sauce, mirrors the fiery spirit she possesses beneath her gentle exterior. Named by a girlfriend who saw fit to christen everything from eggs to macaroni with the spicy condiment, Tabasco herself embodies a warmth and sweetness that endears her to all who cross her path.
2024 Cutest 'Other' Pet
Bernard
My name is Bernard, and my pronouns are They/Them. I’m just another party hopper, looking for a free drink and some canapés at the Met. Find me on the patio.

2023 Winners

2023 Cutest Dog
Matteo
Seen in his submission photo visiting the Animals in War Memorial in Ottawa, Matteo shares his human’s passion for Law Enforcement, proudly sporting his own tactical harness with his name on the back and a maple leaf beside it! He also sports a maple leaf flag on the front of all three of his tactical harnesses.
2023 Cutest Cat
Shohei Ohtani
Shohei Ohtani is named after the cutest and most talented baseball player in the MLB, objectively speaking. And while this charming 11-month-old Siberian kitten may not be as talented as his namesake (yet), his cuteness is overwhelming to all who meet him. In terms of looks, the extra tufts of fur on his paws and ears get a lot of attention.
2023 Cutest ‘Other’ Pet
Petunia
You could say Petunia is no ordinary chicken. She is the Regal Queen of her flock. Her calm, yet firm temperament is apparent when she makes her appearance outside her castle. She is a Silkie, named for its atypically fluffy plumage, which is said to feel like silk and satin, appropriate for Queen Petunia.
