Removed #5 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 They have never said that votes from outside SA don't count; they probably didn't expect the influx of Husky voters that they've seen. Here's hoping that they don't make a last minute change to the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping that they don't make a last minute change to the rules. Well they only say 'open to public voting' Nowhere do they mention anything about which country... Besides I have a feeling they changed the closing date/time because they were not happy with who would've won! I already had a fight with them on their facebook because they would share the finalist's stories on their fb but only some of the would show on your timeline and nor the others...which is in my opinion a bit unfair!!! And they chose Miles on the day before voting was to close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osinn11 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Think they underestimated what a strong pack huskies and thier humans run in!! Has anyone heard back from Ian??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Aye, I was too a bit disappointed how they *only* feature Miles' story if we share the link to Facebook he's also a great dog, but... yeah. It's unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #5 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 While they do have 21 finalists, I've just wandered through what I can see of their FaceBook page and Emily was spotlighted on July 7th, so she was one of the early ones. They spotlighted (spotlit?) several others as the contest has gone on ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the problem I had with the way they did it was that all of the finalists did not show o everyone's facebook timeline...seeing that facebook does not show you every post of all of your liked pages it's a stupid facebook thing they did not consider!

IanJ Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Ok folks Ian and Emily are here. I must say I am blown away by the support shown for Emily, she has become quite a celebrity here in South Africa among the husky community but I didn't know she was now world famous. I am involved with Husky Rescue South Africa as an organising member and I was the lucky one that got to take Emily home when she was discharged from the vets after 2 weeks. Her progress has been amazing to all concerned and she has the most amazing loving personality especially considering what she has been through. I have 2 other huskies, Panda Bear a 4 year old male, Tequila our alpha female is also 4 years old and now Emily who we estimate to be around 18 months. I just want to thank you all for the amazing support in voting for her and I hope we can keep her in the lead to win the competition. For those that don't know there is a cash prize for the category winners and overall winner and Emily will be donating any prize money to Husky Rescue South Africa to try help all the other homeless huskies we are trying to find homes for. Any other questions about her please ask and I have lots of photos if you would like to see more (some unfortunately quite graphic and horrific).

Removed #5 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I know that I'd like to see more pictures of her as she heals and as other have said, we'd like to see the rest of your pack as well. Yeh, your little girl and your actions to save her have definitely made her (and you) worldwide heroes among the Husky Family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
