WE HAVE A WINNER!! 🐾🏆

After 268 votes in today’s championship round, CHARLIE W is your 2026 Pooch Playoffs Champion!!

Bella held the lead almost all day long, and then Charlie came charging through at the end to win it by just SIX votes. It was quite a show and I have absolutely loved watching everyone cheer these two on.

Congrats to Charlie W and a huge shoutout to Bella for an incredible run! PLEASE give these pups a big shoutout!!

Congratulations Charlie!! 👑

See you again, same time next year? 😉🏆

FINAL ROUND 🏆
We made it! After some insanely close matchups (including that wild Charlie vs Charlie tie-breaker), it all comes down to these two:

🐾 Charlie W
This dapper little dude charmed his way through the bracket and survived one of the tightest races of the Playoffs to snag his spot in the finals.

🐾 Bella
Sweet, spunky, and totally beloved by her people, Bella has been holding her own in every round and is ready for one more showdown.

Voting for the championship round opens tomorrow at 6am and runs until 8pm.
Who are you rooting for? Team Charlie W or Team Bella? Let’s crown our 2026 Pooch Playoffs champ! 🐶👑

Round 2 is in the books and over 150 of you showed UP again to vote! 😅 Two of tonight’s matchups were decided by just ONE vote, and another squeaked by with a two-vote lead. 😱😳

It was honestly so hard watching some of these pups drop off😩, but I’m over here cheering loud for the dogs moving on to the semifinals. 🐾 Thank you for showing up, sharing, and voting your hearts out. 💕

Next round we’ve got Charlie vs Charlie and Bella vs Tater (last year’s champ!) and I cannot wait to see what you do with these matchups.
