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

His favorite toy is definitely his mini teddy bear, we call him squeezers! He still has his very first bear and hasn’t destroyed it (yet), but we make sure he knows he has copies, so though there’s loads of others. He still has squeezers! We can recognize which is which because it’s a shade darker than the others.

What is your dog's most unique quality?

His most unique quality is actually sneezing after I say “bless you”, most times.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

I think Louie should be America’s favorite dog because he is not famous, nor trained for TV, or trained much. He represents the everyday dogs across America, the ones that quietly save us from loneliness and stress. To add on, dachshunds are #6 in rankings of most popular dog in America 2024.
