CHARLIE

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

Charlie loves anything that involves tug-oh-war. His toys have to be hearty because those teeth and strong jaw will shred the weak. Charlie loves any kind of treat (he pouts with the big lip if the treat cupboard has been opened and he doesn't get one) I think his favorite treat is ice. When someone gets ice out of the fridge he comes and "nose bumps" them, Everyone must give an ice cube for ice tax. Outside in the winter he will continue to chomp on icicles even tho he is shivering. He loves it

What is your dog's most unique quality?

I would have to say facial expressions. He has a million of them. Charlie has a very "large" personality and he has a facial expression for every emotion or thought going thru his head. When he gets upset he pouts with his lip sticking out. When stressed his eyes get big, eyebrows go up and his ears turn out like an elephant ear. He smiles when he's happy (or trying to get out of trouble) I don't think he realizes he is a dog and those facial expressions sure makes a person feel better.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

Besides his handsome good looks (which he will flaunt every chance he gets) Charlie is a combination of smarts, sass and unconditional love. Charlie has the sweetest soul, he is an emotional support pupper. He knows when someone is sad and will not leave their side. As his big brother Cruizer ages and has begun to slow down Charlie doesn't leave his side often. He sleeps with him, and has become their "voice" when they need something. Charlie doesn't have a mean bone in his body.
