Glasgow dog owners offered the chance for their pup to be the face of hotel chain ad campaign

Glasgow dog owners have the opportunity for their furry friends to be the face of a hotel chain's new campaign.

Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, which operates the four-star Crutherland House Hotel in East Kilbride, has opened up their first ever 'Top of the Pups' competition with applications open for all dogs to be in with the chance of being the face of it's national dog friendly travel campaign.

The chosen pooch will become the star of Macdonald Hotels & Resorts marketing campaign for the upcoming year, featuring in all its pet friendly adverts across its website, social media and press activity.

As the official face of the chain, the canine model will be given the chance to travel to select venues, which are in some of the most picturesque places in the UK, from the sunny Solent Coast to the breath-taking Scottish Highlands.

While the group has always provided dog-friendly rooms, it plans to expand its offering with a new specially designed food and drink offering and dog butler service in the coming months. The new furry face would have a central role in bringing these initiatives to the market.

Peter Llewellyn, of Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, said: “Dogs are just as much a part of the family as everyone else, so it’s right that they get to enjoy all the wonderful sights, and smells, that Britain has to offer.

“The pandemic saw a huge increase in pet owners across the UK, and we know from our own insights that more people want to bring their pups with them on holiday.

“This is the ultimate battle of the breeds, and we’re looking for a handsome hotel hound, who can capture the magic of visiting a Macdonald Hotel or Resort and send other dog’s tails wagging.”

To enter, owners simply have to submit a selection of images or videos of their pups which showcase their best model poses. Seven regional winners, including one dog from Glasgow and the west, will then be selected and the shortlist will then take part in a public vote via social media.
