Nationwide Insurance conducts the yearly contest using the names of the 1.2 million animals on its pet insurance roster. It then opened the contest to a public vote, which ran from April 9 to 12 across the dog, cat, and exotic categories.
A spokesperson said the winners, Molly From Corporate, cat Tony “Scarface” Baloney and rabbit Thor Odinbun, God of Bunder will each receive a professional photo shoot with their owners and a gift card for a custom pet portrait.
Contest officials said Molly’s human, Tyler W., said the name came from a joke between him and his wife about how to get their dog the most attention at the groomers or at a pet store.
“More than a few folks have expressed their pleasure at having someone so friendly from corporate visit them on site,” Tyler said.
