People magazine has announced the winner of its ‘World’s Cutest Rescue Dog’ contest for 2020.

Lamb Chop, a Maltese weighing 12 pounds, was the victor from among more than 10,000 entrants. The contest was run in conjunction with Pedigree Petfoods.

Christin Schubert of Milwaukee adopted Lamb Chop in late 2014. The dog has a unique appearance, with her tongue frequently hanging out because she has no teeth. They were removed shortly after her rescue because of their poor condition. She had several surgeries as well, including removal of several tumors.

“I always tell people that I think she is super brave and resilient, given what she has gone through,″ Schubert said. “She has an amazing joy for life.”

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
