Winner

Resi Agustin
This week’s Pet of the Week winners are Edji and Kairo. In a heartwarming video, small but assertive shih tzu mix Edji proves that size doesn’t determine leadership.
Grabbing hold of Kairo, a much larger Siberian Husky’s leash, Edji gives it a playful tug—showing exactly who is in charge despite their size difference.
“They have a lot of playtime together. They are very playful,” owner Resi Agustin told Newsweek.
As well as defying stereotypes of what a little dog can do, Agustin said that Edji loves hanging out in an air-conditioned room.
Finalists

Tes Bryant
Our first finalist this week is Hazel, a lively and quirky pup who has a big voice and ever-wagging tail.
Her owner Tes Bryant told Newsweek that her favorite thing is to visit her best dog friend. “She gets crazed—so happy and silly. When it’s time to go, she even hides from me,” she said with a laugh.
To keep Hazel content, Bryant admits to spending a lot of time at her friend’s house. “Yes, she’s spoiled,” she added.
Mazylue the dog, loved for her hilarious antics.
Kimber Thivierge
Next up this week is Mazylue, affectionately known by her owners as “Crazy Lue.”
A year-old Australian shepherd who keeps her family entertained, owner Kimber Thivierge told Newsweek: “She’s the craziest dog I’ve ever owned.”
Mazylue has a knack for mischief, targeting specific household items: one shoe, a spatula or an oven mitt. True to her playful nature, she sneaks her prize outside and leaves it on the trampoline, a habit she’s had since she was 6 weeks old....
