Meet the winner and finalists in the Independent on Saturday’s March Pet of the Month competition. This month it’s Louis-Harvey, an 8-year-old miniature Yorkshire terrier who scoops the prize.
While small in stature, Louis-Harvey displays a big personality. He is a foodie and loves being outdoors.
His mother says: “He is a healthy eater and loves his strawberries, blueberries and apples. He enjoys his squeaky toys, and he loves going to the flea markets and any outdoor space, especially his walks by the ocean.
“He has his own little closet and has lots of lovely clothing which he wears according to seasons.”
Louis-Harvey wins an exciting new prize open to all pet winners this year – an exclusive photoshoot from pet photographer Tilanie Grote worth R1 500.

Competition rules: The competition is open to all pets and only one picture may be submitted. Employees of Independent Media, the sponsor, their advertising agencies and their immediate families may not enter. The editor’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
Our next Pet of the Month feature will be published on June 28. Entries close on June 22 at midday. The competition will run until February 2026. An independent panel of judges will select the Pet of the Month.
Because of space constraints, not all pictures will be published in the newspaper. However, every pet will be considered and all entries will be published on our Facebook page
