BERNIE

Bernie is puggiest pug to have ever pugged. So dark he can’t be seen as he blends into the night while chewing up anything in sight.

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

Bernie’s favorite toy is his stuffed monkey. He doesn’t destroy it like all his other toys, and he brings it to bed and into his crate to sleep with. Also, he loves a good used sock. When he was a puppy, we let him believe it was naughty to steal socks. It made everything a lot easier!

What is your dog's most unique quality?

Bernie pets you back! He reaches his paw up to pet your arm or your face. It’s the cutest thing.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

Bernie should be America’s favorite dog because America is his favorite country! No I’m just kidding. He already is a well known pug in our home town of Lebanon NH. I bring him into my work at the paper store to say hi to my coworkers and the customers. We walk around the town and people can’t even help themselves they have to say hi, but Bernie feels the same! He’s extremely well trained. He knows all sorts of fun tricks like play dead, speak, and spin.
