ECHO

Hi, I'm Echo! I'm the sweetest, bestest boy! I'm not your "typical" dalmatian. No, I'm an absolute couch potato and cuddle bug to boot!

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

My favorite toy is my stuffed pufferfish! No matter where it is, I'll always find it and squeak squeak squeak it until it drives you crazy! I absolutely LOVE Blue Buffalo Health Bars, the apple and yogurt variety! I'll do pretty much anything to get one (even bathtime)! Seriously, just give me a cookie!

What is your dog's most unique quality?

My most unique quality? My mommy says it's my empathy. If anyone in the house is not feeling well, or upset, I'll be right there to give you cuddles and I promise, I won't move a muscle until you're feeling better! I'm the BEST nurse! I even watch TV and will get upset if something sad happens in the show/movie. My mommy says I'm the most emotionally connected dog she's ever met.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

I deserve the title to be able to bring more awareness to the Dalmatian breed, and lessen the stigma that surrounds my breed after so many people misunderstand us. So many people consider Dalmatians to be "aggressive", when that is the furthest from the truth. Sadly, my breed has been inbred and overbred due to recent films and TV shows, and not respected enough. Too many of us end up in shelters because we're not socialized or trained correctly. But us Dals are the best! We deserve a chance!
