The Pet Lovers' Choice Awards has launched a 'Best in State' competition for cats and dogs, offering a chance to win a national title with a $10,000 prize. The winner will be honored in a live awards show hosted by comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias in Los Angeles. Paid votes for the competition support the Best Friends Animal Society, an animal welfare organization. The first state-by-state competition follows the inaugural Pet Lovered' Choice Award contest, where over 14,000 entries were submitted and over $700,000 raised to help pets in shelters.
