A LUCKY dog and their owner from Wales could get their paws on this quirky job role.

Canine Cottages has opened applications for the third annual Canine Critics competition.

Closing on October 29, successful applicants will be offered coveted positions as ‘Canine Critics’: four-legged ambassadors of the brand who will act as the paws on the ground and be responsible for reviewing cottage holidays, posting on Canine Cottages’ social channels and sniffing out adventures along the way.

A total of 10 special dogs - from around the UK - are required to join their pack.

Successful applications will be given a £1,000 voucher for a cottage holiday and a doggy bag full of treats.

Dogs will be profiled on the Canine Cottages website and appear regularly across the company’s social media channels.

Shannon Keary, Canine Cottages digital PR manager, said: “Our 2019 campaign was phenomenally successful and we were overwhelmed with the calibre and quantity of entries.

"The chosen 2019 Critics have been amazing and we’ve loved having them as ambassadors for our brand.

"Now we cannot wait to recruit 10 new top dogs for 2020.

"We’re on the hunt for a diverse selection of ‘real’ dogs who love to explore the UK and have their photo taken, as well as a willing human to sit, stay and lie down with.”
