SIMON

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

He absolutely loves Tacos. Lol yes 🌮 tacos. But only if you make them in the shell. Lol He has a gingerbread man toy that he carries around with him and just keeps near him. It is the only toy that he has not destroyed instantly. He also loves going for car rides with the windows down, so he can stick his head out the window and feel the wind on his face.

What is your favorite thing about your dog?

He is my best friend! His full name is Simon Bartholomew Nelson. He knows when I need a hug or just for him to be near me. His eyes talk to me. He smiles all the time and makes everything better. He lays with his paw on me to make sure that I am near.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

Because he is a gentle giant. He is a pitbull that has been previously abused, poisoned by evil neighbors, and after a long flight from Hawaii (where we brought him into our family), he was sent down the baggage claim and ended up in the unclaimed baggage, (we were at the cargo area, where he was supposed to be. But they were closed that day. ) Even with being through all of that, he is a perfect gentleman. He breaks every stereotype that pitbulls have, and has won the love of everyone.
