Elizabeth Ashcroft of Georgetown has a pet dwarf Nigerian goat. Her 3-year-old son named him Dog.
Ashcroft s best friend recently told her she should enter Dog in a photo contest to find Cadbury s new Easter bunny, so Ashcroft snapped a picture of the goat wearing bunny ears. Now the black-and-white goat is one of the top 10 national finalists in the contest. Nothing like this ever happens to us, said Ashcroft about her pet s chance to snag an acting role as a rabbit. We were shocked.
A Cadbury spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment this week about the contest. The finalists were chosen based on a photo and video submission, according to the contest s website.
