Earlier this month, we unveiled the winner of The Northside Chronicle’s Cutest Pet Photo Contest. Claiming victory was Amy Shreckengost, with her dog Reggie.

Well now it is time to see the runners up. We’ve collected the five pets who got the closest to challenging Reggie’s victory. While a dog may have won the contest overall, there are quite a few cats in the runners up category.

The captions of each photo list the photo submitter, their Northside neighborhood and their pet’s name.

Check out the runners up below:
