Minnesota Dog in the Running to be TSA’s Cutest Dog of 2023

Each year the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) does a contest to find the cutest dog that works for TSA across the country. They're down to the final four for this year's contest and one of the pups works at MSP in Minneapolis, Minnesota!

Last year, if you remember, the winner of the TSA Cutest Canine contest was Ebbers at MSP. I may be biased but he looks like the dog I used to have so I totally agree that he's the cutest.

We could go for a second year in a row with Zita. And she's actually the dog that replaced Ebbers when he retired.

The final four dogs are Zeta (a German Shepherd who works at the Tampa, FL airport), Dina (a German Short-Haired Pointer who works at the Las Vegas airport) Joker-Jordan (a Belgian Malinois who works at the Atlanta airport), and our very own Zita.

Zita is a 3-year-old German Short-Haired Pointer who sniffs for explosives while at work and loves chasing squirrels when she's at home, according to the TSA's Instagram post.

How to Vote for Zita!

Voting right now is to pick the top two. So if we want Zita to win, we have to get her to the top two first. We have until noon on Thursday, August 24th to vote. You can either vote on the TSA's Instagram story, Facebook story, or Twitter poll.
