Sonny’s owner Shauna Bohan thinks he has what it takes to win Nose of Tralee 2022.

Sonny is a black and tan, long haired mini dachshund with two different coloured eyes. Shauna describes Sonny as a “very happy dog and loves interacting with people.” Shauna got Sonny after the loss of her fiance and she says he is a “bundle of joy.”

“He has brought so much happiness to our house and we would be lost without him.” Sonny loves cuddles and belly rubs and is so photogenic - so much in fact he has his own instagram account at sonn_the_dachshund

The winner of Nose of Tralee 2022 will be decided by public vote - voting continues until August 22, when the winner will be announced. Vote for sonny at https://www.petsittersireland.com/nose-of-tralee/
