Carvel and Air Bud Entertainment will select and announce the winner on August 15.

"We are always thrilled when movie stars celebrate with Carvel, and Tiny's birthday is no exception in this entertaining, family-fun film," said Scott Colwell, president of Carvel. "We are eager to see what other clever canines we uncover through our talent search contest!"

In honor of the partnership, Carvel is offering an exclusive edible image cake featuring the Pup Star herself, Tiny, and her doppelganger, Scrappy. These specialty cakes are only available at Carvel shoppes from August 28 through September 25.
