Vote for 'Gizmo'! Dog from Kildare Town is announced as a finalist for 'Ireland's Next Top Madra 2018'

By Kim O'Leary

A dog from Co Kildare has made it into the top 20 finalists for 'Ireland's Next Top Madra' and now he needs votes from his home county in the hope of scooping the ultimate 'doggie prize' next week!

Shih-Tzu/ Yorkshire Terrier mix Gizmo is from Kildare Town and he is taking part in the dog pageantry competition 'Ireland's Next Top Madra' in association with Dacia.

Gizmo's proud owner, Sabrina, said: "My lovely Kildare Town dog Gizmo has made it to the top 20 of Ireland's Top Madra. He is looking for some Kildare support to get him to NO. 1 and win the crown next week in the Pet Expo in the National Show Centre, Swords, Dublin, on Saturday November 3."

Last night, the four-legged contestants for Ireland's Next Top Madra appeared on the Ray D'Arcy show where the Kildare native showed his love for the cuddly dogs.

The finalists will be heading to the 2018 Pet Expo in the National Show Centre, Swords, on Saturday, November 3, where the winner will be announced.

All 20 finalists will receive 'doggie goodie bags', although the winning pooch and their owner is in for a special treat.

The overall winner will get a two-night stay and evening meal in the stunning Harvey's Point hotel, an intimate photo shoot with Pawtrait pet photography, where they can wear their dazzling crown from Azzure jewellery, and will also be featured in RSVP magazine.

Tomorrow, Monday 29, voting will close at 5pm so vote for your favourite at: https://www.rsvplive.ie/news/irish-news/irelands-next-top-madra-final-13473341?fbclid=IwAR31MSBsVm9ruPKF_zz2iJdLPWlyLE477gXhvKEDS3hLuSay6JkPwifOSWE
