What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreHer favorite toy is anything she can fetch, and her go-to-treat is organic vegetables (yes, really, they have to be organic or she won’t touch them) and freeze-dried liver—clearly a dog of refined tastes.
Asa’s most unique quality? Without a doubt—her fearless love of adventure paired with an oddly specific fear of open-tread bridges. 🐾 She’s the kind of dog who charges through snowdrifts, scales mountain trails, and guards her campsite like a pro… but suddenly turns into a cautious, slow-stepping ballerina if she can see the ground between the planks. It’s equal parts endearing and hilarious—and 100% Asa.
Because Asa is everything we love about dogs—and a few things we never expected. She’s loyal, brave, and always ready to charge into the wilderness… unless there’s an open-tread bridge involved. Then she becomes the most careful, cautious, and unintentionally hilarious hiker on the trail. She’s got the heart of a hero and the palate of a health nut. Sh e’s a gentle protector, and the kind of dog who turns every walk into an adventure and every obstacle into a personality trait.
