Keyport, NJ (PRWEB) July 21, 2005 -- In a landslide victory, Pat Lawson, wins a monthly photography contest at Expressions Photo Boutique, (www.expressionspb.com). The victory raised speculation from not only other finalists, but also contest host, Jill Caren. "Our site is new and relatively small, so for someone in one of our contests to get 395 votes, it definitely raised some eyebrows," states Caren.
Caren, owner of Expressions Photo Design & Boutique, contacted Pat Lawson and got the full story as to how Bear became leader of the pack to finish first in the "Most Patriotic Pet" contest. "This was the most wonderful story for me as a website owner and an animal lover," states Caren.
Bear is currently in his last few weeks of training to become a Canine Companion for Independence Assistance Dog. He will graduate on August 20th with his new partner in life. "Winning this contest is a great honor for him," states Ms. Lawson. The prize, a custom Photo Handbag, will be used at a silent auction at a Dog Days of Summer Golf Classic in September. The handbag will have a picture of her next CCI puppy, Miller, printed on it. "We are so thrilled that something so wonderful and unexpected has come from this contest, states Caren, it is rare the we even get a thank you from contest winners, so this was a welcome surprise that brought tears to my eyes."
