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

Boone’s favorite toy is a raggedy Lamb Chop that has survived multiple years, washes, and emotional seasons. He carries it gently, sleeps with it, and will notice immediately if it’s moved. His go-to treat is cheese… any kind, any time. He considers it non-negotiable. He will NOT eat his dinner unless it is topped with a pinch of Parmesan.

What is your dog's most unique quality?

Boone has the confidence of a large dog trapped in the body of a sentient hot dog. He communicates almost entirely through sighs, side-eye, and physical closeness. He also refuses to pee in the cold, turning every winter outing into a slow-burn standoff that he fully expects to win.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

Boone represents the American spirit: small, dramatic, mildly inconvenienced by the weather, and deeply committed to comfort. He shows up daily despite his fears, demands affection without apology, and has mastered the art of being loved while doing very little.
