They were big, they were small. They were smooth-coated and furry as bears.

Almost 40 puppies took part in the annual Cutest Puppy Contest at Fitgers Saturday, some with their own "emotional support dogs" (usually an older sister or brother) for moral support.

OK, technically *three puppies were named first, second, and third, but we all know every puppy is the cutest puppy, right?

*Here are the winners of the contest as chosen by audience members ... which puppies would you have picked?
