Finding the perfect job just got easier—if you’re cute, cuddly, and love snuggles. Purina is on the hunt for its first-ever Chief Snuggle Officer (CSO), and six adorable finalists are in the running.
A Dream Job for Pets
Purina’s Chief Snuggle Officer contest drew over 4,000 applications from pet parents across the U.S. The lucky winners—a puppy and a kitten—will earn a $25,000 salary and serve as brand ambassadors for all things cute and cuddly.
The finalists were selected based on their cuteness, charm, and heartwarming stories.
