Animal magnets

The editors at the Chico News & Review are suckers for cute animals. We know many of our readers are, too, and since we can’t help ourselves when it comes to putting pics of cute animals in the newspaper, we once again reached out via Facebook for entrants for our Cutest Pet Contest. We asked readers to upload their photos, and the one that received the most likes would be published in the newspaper.

This year’s Facebook fan choice for cutest pet goes to Melanie and Chip Kendrick’s upside-down couch potato, Sophie. The Kendricks have won four tickets to the June 24 Chico Heat baseball game against the Medford Rogues at Nettleton Stadium. Thank you to everyone who entered. All your fur babies were adorable—here are the winners, along with a few of our faves.
