Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

America’s best dog is defined by heart. After losing my soul dog, Simba, grief overwhelmed me and healing felt impossible. Then Nala came into my life. I believe Simba sent her—not to replace him, but to help heal my soul. Nala saved my life through her unconditional love and quiet presence. She taught me patience, showed me how to live with grief, and reminded me that love never ends—it transforms. She is my best friend and my greatest teacher.
