Drumroll please…the votes are in, and America has chosen an adorable dog as the winner of the fourth-annual Cadbury Bunny Tryouts.
Annie Rose will star in this year’s Cadbury Clucking Bunny commercial and will take home a $5,000 cash prize, along with plenty of bragging rights for when she visits local nursing homes in her home state of Ohio.
An English Doodle, Annie Rose is used to being in the spotlight. She loves bringing smiles to the faces of seniors—so much so that not even a global pandemic can stop her. When COVID-19 restrictions meant no visitors at nursing homes, Annie Rose didn’t give up. Instead, she dressed up, strutting her stuff outside the nursing home windows.
“We can’t thank everyone enough for voting, especially her doodle families and friends who went over and beyond,” said Lori R., Annie Rose’s owner. “Our community rallied behind and supported her just as she has for them for years as a therapy dog.”
“All of us are still shocked by the news but can’t wait to get Annie Rose those iconic Cadbury Bunny ears.”
Together, the Cadbury team and this year’s judges, made up of all three previous winners, including Betty the Frog, narrowed down the top 10 finalists before turning it over to America to ultimately decide the winner.

Cadbury also donated $20,000 to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (the ASPCA).
After receiving thousands of votes from fans across the country, Annie Rose is putting her bunny ears back on and joining the Cadbury Hall of Fame.

“From cats and dogs to sugar gliders and hedgehogs, cuteness and creativity was not in short supply when it came to this year’s finalists,” said Cadbury.

How cute! I was hoping it was a fluffy stuffed animal that came with each basket of Cadbury chocolates.
