Pop the puppy champagne and break out the finest treats and toys — we have a new royal on our paws!
After an abundance of entries and thousands of votes in our 12th annual Cutest Dog Contest, Little Rock Soirée readers have officially named the most adorable pup in the metro.
So without further ado, the winner is…
Henry Louis!
With his curly locks and ear-to-ear smile, this sweet pooch stole the hearts of voters near and far. Now the tiny monarch will take home a paw-some prize package and a print feature in our September issue.
Congratulations, Henry!
And while he ultimately claimed the doggy crown, we’re also sending major love to our royal court of runner-up pups…

Congrats, you sensational canines!
Thank you to everyone who participated and voted, and for sharing your furry friends with us for 12 years. Special thanks also goes to Hounds Lounge Pet Resort & Spa for sponsoring the 2026 contest.
Be on the lookout for Henry’s magazine debut in our September issue. And finally, one last round of appl-awws for all our adorable finalists!
