Cadbury Chooses Sweet Therapy Dog To Be Easter Bunny

For some, Easter is a time to gather and celebrate with family. For others like myself, it's the only holiday (save for Halloween) where you can gorge yourself guilt-free with candy and chocolate.

Regardless of where you stand when it comes to the much-debated Cadbury Creme Egg, there's hardly a person alive who would disagree that Cadbury Mini-Eggs are the Rolls Royce of Easter chocolate.

This year, the honors went to an adorable English Doodle named Annie Rose — a therapy dog from Cincinnati, Ohio.

She's also paw-tial to helping kids of all ages carry around their basket of Easter treats and bringing a smile to the face of everyone she meets.

Among the finalists were a pony named Sweetheart, a camel called Eclipse, and a bearded dragon who goes by the name of Cheeto Puff.

For one thing, Annie Rose will be starring in her very own Cadbury commercial. On top of that, she and her owners will share a cash prize valued at $5000.

"I’m so in awe of the support, love, excitement, and votes you guys gave us," Lori said in her post. All in all, Annie Rose received more than 12,000 votes.

Lori made sure to mention that "Doodle family and friends stick together." She continued stating "I told them how everyone was excited as if Annie was their dog."

"When COVID-19 restrictions meant no visitors at nursing homes, Annie Rose didn't give up," the statement read. "She worked even harder, dressing up and strutting her stuff outside the nursing home windows instead."

Last year, Cadbury's coveted honor went to a teeny tiny tree frog named Betty. It marked the first time that an amphibian had been named Cadbury's "Spokesbunny."

This year, it was Annie Rose, but next year — who knows?! If you think that your pet has what it takes to be Cadbury's next "Spokesbunny," click here for more information regarding contest rules.
