Puppies vs Babies: Who Is Cuter?

Editor’s note: The following contest was created by Animal Planet and is not associated with Care2. For more information on the contest, please visit their site.

They enter the world all smushy faced. They drool uncontrollably. They poop ad hoc on whatever or whomever is nearby. They make ridiculously darling cooing and grunting sounds. They have that unmistakable breath. Oh, the wonderment that is puppies and babies!

Everybody knows that the sight of a cuddly baby or a cute puppy makes minds melt and fuzzies warm, and now America can determine once and for all who is truly cuter in the online version of Puppies vs. Babies. Starting today, Animal Planet is holding a casting call for the cutest puppy and baby in America to compete in a head-to-head showdown.

Which Side Are You On?

As a dyed-in-the-wool animal lover, I am a bit biased relative to my preference – but we want to hear from you! Let’s face it, some babies enter the world looking like little old men, monkeys or squatty accountants –right? Bless his heart, but one of my nephews entered the world looking a bit like a baby Bonobo. I am not kidding.

Sometimes very hard to say. The other day I saw a colleague's new-born baby and she was the cutest little doll I have seen. The again, as mentioned in this article, some babies - when born - look so old and wrinkled that I thought they might make a good argument in favour of reincarnation! I think my vote would go to puppies!
