It was none other than a 2-year-old raccoon from South Florida that snagged the 2024 Cadbury Bunny Tryouts title.
Pet owners around the country submitted their pets for consideration on Instagram and wrote in why their pet should be the winner. Ultimately, Louie took home the big prize.
Louie is a Raccoon from Miami, Florida who won $7,000 in prize money and will get to star in the 2025 Cadbury Tryouts commercial.
Unlike most of his counterparts, Louie has not been raised in the wild since being rescued by his owner, Jaime, in 2021 after being deemed unfit to live in the wild.
Louie is quite content in his new home as he enjoys lounging in his favorite tree and can create art using his toes.
He is also the first-ever raccoon rescue to snatch the coveted spot of the Cadbury Bunny Tryouts.
Previous contest winners include Crash the Rescue Cat, Annie Rose the Therapy Dog, Betty the Drog, Lieutenant Dan the Treeing Walker Coonhound, and Henri the English Bulldog.
