    When Todd Jensen of Aurora entered a snapshot of his Jack Russel terrier, Chip, in CentralNebraskaToday.com’s Tournament of Tails Contest a while back he knew it was a cute photo, but had little idea just how cute other people would consider it. The photo of Chip sitting at a table and drinking a can of Busch Dog Brew bone broth beat out 500 original entries and a 64-round bracket of online voting to win the title of Ultimate Tail-Wagger. After Jensen was presented with his winnings of a $250 gift certificate from Petsense and a bag of pet toys and treats, he decided to donate the whole ‘kitten-kapoodle’ to Aurora Adopt A Pet for use in the shelter.
