What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreShe loves her lamb chop. She has closed to 20 and counting. She needs one for every occasion plus some as backup. Don't you dare say the word cookie or chicken and not be ready to pay the tax.
She is so expressive. It's funny seeing her make faces and look at you.
Ariel was rescued from a shelter 10 years ago, and the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew she was the one. Over the years, she’s faced many challenges—battling pancreatitis, undergoing TPLO surgery, and soon a hip replacement—but nothing has stopped her. She remains as spirited as ever, her tail adorned with wags, and she continues to push through with unwavering determination. Ariel is truly America’s dog, a fighter who never gives up, no matter what life throws her way.
