There's a new celebrity in the Greater Cincinnati area.
If you buy any of the holiday Budweiser cans this season, you'll see Wilson, a Saint Bernard from Liberty Township.
He's the first winner of Budweiser's "Pupweiser" contest, his face now adorning the beer's limited-edition holiday cans, along with the Budweiser Clydesdales and a dalmatian.
Wilson's owner Kelsey Dempsey said she first entered the contest earlier this year after seeing other people posting about it online.
"I already had holiday pictures of Wilson, so I figured why not," Dempsey said.
She was then informed that Wilson had reached the final four, and it was up to the public to vote for the winner.
And to her surprise, Wilson won the contest. The picture of Wilson on the can is the one Dempsey had submitted to the contest.
"It's so crazy that it's just my dog, and all of a sudden he's the been voted the cutest dog on the internet," Dempsey said.
Wilson even traveled to the Budweiser headquarters in St. Louis in early November for a photoshoot and to meet the Clydesdales.
The cans with Wilson and the other animals are now available for purchase. Dempsey said she even bought a refrigerator just to store all the extra cans with Wilson's face.
There were also stone coasters with Wilson's face available for purchase from Budweiser, which have since sold out.
