Lambert will join judges from PEOPLE and the PEDIGREE® brand in choosing the contest’s grand prize winner out of the three dogs who receive the most votes.
The pooch who wins the grand prize will receive a custom photo shoot, a feature in PEOPLE Magazine and on People.com, a year’s supply of dog food from the PEDIGREE® brand, and a $1,000 donation to the animal rescue organization of their choice.
