Dogs took the crown this year with 426 votes, compared to 406 votes for cats. Chickens came in at 3rd, well above the next most popular (horses).

A handful of you say you have deer, moose or bears as pets. Our advice: get a dog, cat or chicken instead.

Thanks to you and your pets for participating and supporting Montana Public Radio!

Here are some of the pet photos you shared with us.

Pet Playoffs is Montana Public Radio's annual pledge week finale!

Make a pledge in honor of your pets Sunday night, we’ll count them up and announce the winner at the end of the night. Cats? Dogs? Goats? Snakes? That depends on you.

Tune in on Sunday from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. to make your Pet Playoffs pledge and get your pets' names on air. Call in to donate or add your pet's names in the comments field of the online pledge form.

The Pet Playoffs are Sunday, but you can join the fun now by calling in to share a story, silly habit or to honor your furry friends. Call the listener line at 406-243-4366 to leave your message and you may hear it on air.

Tag us on social media with your pet photos @mtpublicradio or #PetPlayoffs and we'll share the most irresistible ones.

Invite your friends — furry, scaly, feathered and 8-legged to find out which type of pet will be crowned the undisputed champion of pubic radio pets.
