What's your dog’s favorite toy and/or go-to treat?

Bear is still learning what treats are, but loves sniffing and trying new ones. His go to is anything turkey flavored, a spoon of peanut butter.... or a dental chew! (He randomly loves them!

What is your favorite thing about your dog?

I love the way I get to experience firsts with him, like his first steps outdoors on a leash, first sniff of something new, first reaction to toys, and cuddles on the sofa. I love how curious he is about the world. I love seeing him relax, seeing him wake up with messy hair after a deep sleep, seeing him finally wag his tail after months of hoping it would happen. I love when he nestles his little head into me and closes his eyes. And I love the way both always make sure eachother are okay 💝

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

He is the sweetest, bravest boy. He went through so much for 8 years in Georgia, completely unimaginable to us, but he put up a fight and is now loved by so many and taking huge steps everyday. He is becoming the pup he was always meant to be. I am very proud, the people who know him are proud, and I hope America is proud of him too! This would truly mean the world to us.
