BPOC: The final
Does Topsy or Swim Shady deserve to win?
You’ve voted in your masses, and there’s a tie at the top as to who has the cutest pet.
Street-wise fish troupe Swim-Shady, Rayhana and Black-Eyed P are vying for top-spot with Topsy the hi-fiving puppy.
Both Topsy and dem fishes have just under a quarter of the vote each – 24.68 per cent – so we’re placing the power back in YOUR hands.
Here’s a reminder of the two contenders:
Topsy

Topsy the puppy is very willing to amp up the cuteness in order to claim the title
Owner: Connie Fredrickson, second year American Studies
Pet type: Dog
Age: Five months
Possibly the cutest puppy ever, Connie got Topsy in the summer. She told The Tab: “She’s a puppy we got in summer and she has already learnt how to high-five.”
She is a “wonderful loony”. A talented dog, Topsy is able to pirouette whilst barking whenever it’s dinner time. Who said dogs can’s multi-task? If she won, she’d be so excited she’d start pirouetting down Cottingham Road.
Swim Shady, Rayhana and Black-Eyed P

You wouldn’t want to mess with these three
Owner: Rob Dennis, second year Politics
Pet Type: Fish
Age: Unknown, but owner Rob has had them since the beginning of term
These three fish belong to Rob Dennis. Despite the hip-hop reference in both Swim Shady and Black-Eyed P’s names, the fish are yet to exhibit any notable hip-hop talents that have made their namesakes so famous.
So, at the moment, the chances of them forming the world’s first fish hip-hop troupe are pretty slim.
