Bailey was one of the dogs selected over 1,500 entries to be a finalist. According to his owner, Ciara, he is the most loveable dog and this is what makes her think that he would make a great Nose of Tralee winner.
Although he is Roscommon's entry, Bailey lives in Lanesboro, Co Longford. He is a four-year-old, much-loved member of the family.
Bailey's owner Ciara says "Even on our toughest days, Bailey always brings a smile to our face. He is the most friendly and lovable dog."
The winner is announced on Tuesday, August 19 at 6pm. The prizes for the winner are a hotel stay, pet sitter voucher, photo shoot and many other prizes. There are also plenty of prizes for the runner up including a pet sitters voucher, food and many other prizes.
The list of entries can be found on https://www.petsittersireland.
