Loki is a delightful contradiction: a 15-month-old whippet who seamlessly transitions from athletic sprinter to dedicated couch ornament!

What is America's Favorite Pet?

What makes Loki truly unique is his dramatic transformation from unstoppable speed demon to professional blanket burrito. At the dog park, he's unbeatable—a blur of lean muscle leaving every other dog in his dust, pure athletic poetry in motion. Then, barely twenty minutes later, he's completely done. He burrows under his blanket and commits fully to a two-hour nap like it's an Olympic event. This whiplash between maximum velocity and maximum relaxation defines him.
Loki should be America's favorite dog because he perfectly embodies our national identity: go big or go home. He doesn't do anything halfway: When he runs, he's faster than every dog at the park; when he rests, he's committed to a two-hour blanket hibernation. This is peak American energy. He's got the work-hard, play-hard mentality we celebrate. Then he demonstrates the art of unapologetic relaxation we all aspire to master.
