What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreHis go-to treat is peanut butter biscuits, and he never says no to one (or two). When he’s not soaking up love, you’ll find him happily carrying around his favorite toy—a squeaky tennis ball he treats like treasure.
Even with three legs, he doesn’t just adapt—he thrives. He turns every room into a happier place, loves without hesitation, and meets life with pure excitement and trust. His resilience isn’t loud or showy; it’s gentle, steady, and full of heart. That kind of spirit is rare—and it’s what makes Buddy unforgettable.
Buddy should be America’s favorite pet because he shows what true strength looks like. Despite having three legs, he lives with endless joy, love, and resilience. He greets everyone with kindness, never lets his past slow him down, and reminds people that differences make us special. Buddy inspires hope, compassion, and happiness, proving that love and determination can overcome anything.
