Dog of the Year

Carmella by the Sea, Honorary Mention

Carmella by the Sea, a charming Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a penchant for gourmet dog menus, is the proud recipient of the Honorary Mention as Dog of the Year by the Monterey Bay Stars Awards for 2024. Known for her delightful visits to local favorites like Hog's Breath Inn, TreeHouse Cafe, and Forge In The Forest, Carmella has won hearts across the community. Her love for walks along Carmel Beach and Lovers Point Park exemplifies her spirited nature. As the beloved mascot of Monterey Bay Stars Awards, her biased nomination was a must.
