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

Dirty Dan’s favorite toy is his Santa Claus plush, the moment you throw it, he’s locked in. He sprints after Santa, snatches him up, and proudly brings him right back like he’s completing a mission every time. It’s his version of a perfect game of fetch. When it comes to treats, chicken is his absolute weakness but he’s also a big fan of Hill’s peanut butter & banana treats. One sniff and he’s all smiles, tail wagging, and ready for anything.

What is your dog's most unique quality?

Dirty Dan’s most unique quality is his love for life. No matter the moment, he’s ready when I wake up, he’s already there, excited to start the day. He’s loving, playful with everyone he meets, and has a way of spreading happiness effortlessly.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

Dirty Dan should be on America’s Favorite Dog because he brings happiness without trying. His loving nature, playful spirit, and pure enthusiasm for life remind people of what really matters. He turns ordinary days into memorable ones and leaves everyone he meets smiling. Dan isn’t just a favorite, he’s a reminder of the joy dogs bring into our lives.
