Curt and Waverly and Pepe were delighted by the response to the Pepe Prize contest which closed on June 1. We were amazed by the quality of the submissions and amused by the predicaments in which Pepe found himself and happy to meet some other talented dogs (oddly, no cats entered the contest).��

Pepe & Shaw discuss the entries

We chose four finalists and our head judge, Shaw Fitzgerald, the person who adopted Pepe, the Chihuahua who inspired the series, is currently reading them. We will announce a winner in two weeks.

The four finalists are:

“Good Dogs Hunting,” by Linda McNab and Joanna Karaplis
“The Chihuahua Who Knew Too Much,” by Evelyn Clark
“A Chihuahua for All Seasons,” by Chelle Martin
“The Good, the Bad and the Chihuahua,” by Gaynol Flora
