What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreBourbon Wellington I’s favorite toy is his Snuggle Puppy, a plush companion he treats with the utmost care and affection. With floppy ears and soft fur, it’s his go-to cuddle buddy after a day of zoomies and puddle-jumping. Featuring a soothing heartbeat, Snuggle Puppy is perfect for naps and quiet moments. Whether he’s carrying it gently or curling up beside it, this cherished toy is Bourbon’s trusted sidekick making every moment a little cozier in his adventurous, golden retriever life.
I love Bourbons affectionate and playful nature. I cherish how he balances his energetic, fun-loving side with a regal charm, along with his loyal companionship. His personality shines through in his zoomies, head-tilt diplomacy, and his ability to make every day feel like an adventure. Bourbon’s antics are a perfect mix of chaos and charm, proving that life with him is never boring—and are the best days of my life.
Bourbon Wellington I should be America’s Dog because he’s the epitome of what it means to be a loyal companion and endless source of joy. With zoomies that could fuel a national marathon and a heart as golden as his fur, Bourbon embodies the spirit of adventure and the power of unconditional love. His playful antics bring smiles wherever he goes, and his head-tilt diplomacy could unite even the most divided. Bourbon’s charisma and charm are exactly what America needs in a dog.
