Therapy dog Annie Rose, an English Doodle from Ohio, was chosen to play he 2022 Cadbury Bunny. 

March 30, 2022

Therapy dog Annie Rose will get to bring joy to even more people this spring. The English Doodle from Ohio has won the 2022 Cadbury Bunny Tryouts! 

In addition to starring in the 2022 Cadbury Clucking Bunny commercial, which consumers can get a sneak preview of here, Annie Rose will take home a $5,000 cash prize and plenty of bragging rights.

As a therapy dog who visits local nursing homes in her home state Annie Rose is used to being in the spotlight. And she loves bringing smiles to the faces of the residents of the communities she serves — so much so that not even a global pandemic can stop her. 

When COVID-19 restrictions meant no visitors at nursing homes, Annie Rose didn't give up, she worked even harder, dressing up and strutting her stuff outside the nursing home windows instead.  

Together, the Cadbury brand team and this year's Judges Panel – made up of all three previous winners – Henri the English Bulldog (2019), Lieutenant Dan (2020) and Betty the Frog (2021) – narrowed down the top 10 finalists before turning it over to America to ultimately decide the winner. After receiving thousands of votes from fans across the country, Annie Rose is putting her bunny ears back on and joining the Cadbury Hall of Fame.

After receiving thousands of votes from fans across the country, Annie Rose is putting her bunny ears back on and joining the Cadbury Hall of Fame.

"A huge thanks goes out to all of the amazing contestants that made selecting this year's top 10 so difficult and a big congratulations to our newest Cadbury Bunny, Annie Rose," said Teal Liu, Cadbury Brand Manager. "From cats and dogs to sugar gliders and hedgehogs, cuteness and creativity was not in short supply when it came to this year's finalists."

To further support the nation's leading animal welfare organization, the Cadbury brand achieved its goal of donating $20,000 to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). This year, the brand put out a call to action for votes, promising to donate $5,000 to the ASPCA plus an additional $5,000 for every incremental 5,000 votes received, up to a total donation of $20,000 and America responded, helping the brand reach its goal.
