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

Tennis balls Anything with a squeaker in it She likes pig ears, bully sticks, and any other treats she can get..!!

What is your dog's most unique quality?

Well, I guess I would start by saying the day I rescued her, going out to my car, I was loading all the stuff into it, and I had the trunk open and believe it or not, Athena jumped in the trunk, right there I knew I was in for an adventure. Then I started taking her to obedience classes, she picked up on it rather quickly. Also she Aced the Canine Good Citizen class.. She can shake paws, wave, sit, lay down ect.. She is just amazing 🤩

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

Well I really don't know what to say. I think it would be a great honor for her, not that she would realize it, but to show others that Dogs can be trained to be friendly, calm, and loyal companions. As I wonder sometimes I wonder WHO RESCUED WHO??
