There’s some local interest in the Nose of Tralee competition.
It’s the 11th year of the contest run by Pet Sitters Ireland.
There are 32 contenders for which public voting has closed in round one but reopens on the first of August.
These votes with a written entry are taken into consideration alongside the quality, cuteness and uniqueness of photo submitted with the number of public votes and the written entry.
Through to the semis are:

Roscoe is the best little fella, and is such a good boy around smallies, with his little wet nose he gently gives them a little kiss. Roscoe is admired everywhere he goes and at nearly 4 years old, people still think hes a pup being so small and full of curiosity. He loves his family, and when we all go on walks together, he will stop and wait for who ever is dragging behind to catch up. The most loyal of hounds! ð’–he loves the sunshine, and loves his naps!
Murph is the most friendly golden retriever we know- he is nearly 3 YO. He tries to make friends with everyone (dogs and postmen, and the odd sheep ), whether they want to or not! His arch nemesis is the neighbours cat, since shes too quick for him. Hes a serial napper and is fond of a swim. His favourite treat is frozen melon. He is pure joy and we would be lost without his company.
Max is a small dog with a big personality, hes so lovable, energetic and such a sweetheart. He loves playtime and chewing on all of his toys but his favorite activity is playing fetch with his ball and if he isnt racing you to get that toy you just threw, hell be nudging you to give him head scratches and belly rubs. Hes always up for an adventure, his tail wagging with excitement with the mention of a walk and adores the love and affection from everyone he meets along the way.

Harvey is a 2 year old Maltese. He adores people and cuddles. He’s always smiling and makes every day a happy one. He has survived major surgery and still manages to be the happiest little fighter around.
JJ is *THE* most loving member of our family! He is great company for my mum. JJ is a COVID dog- he was not socialized as he should have been. We rehomed him and he has just blossomed! No dog could be more loving.
Teddy is the funniest little boy, his favourite toy is his pink bunny, has to be touching off one of us to go asleep, hates exercise, loves food and sleep. He is the sweetest, laziest most handsome boy, he makes us smile every day!
