According to our news partners at WCPO, Kelsey Dempsey, Wilson’s owner, took up photography in her spare time during the pandemic and posted a photo of Wilson with the contest hashtag without thinking much of it. She said she was notified a few days later that Wilson was in the final four.
Wilson was chosen as the winner of the Pupweiser contest after several days of voting on social media.
“The public got to vote and he won. I couldn’t believe it,” Dempsey said.
