Participating in America’s Favorite Pet has been life-changing for me. Ozzie is more than just a pet—he's my hero. In the short time we've been together, he's taught me the true meaning of unconditional love and given me a renewed sense of purpose. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to celebrate the bond we share.
