What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreThis 2-year-old pug has the appetite of a pig and proudly owns it. If it’s edible (or even might be), it’s his favorite treat. Biscuits, carrots, crumbs, or mysterious floor finds — he believes all snacks were placed on Earth just for him. When it comes to playtime, his heart belongs to anything that squeaks. Plush toys, rubber toys, accidental squeakers from inside toys he’s “loved” too hard — the louder, the better. Squeak it once and you’ve made a friend for life.
This 2-year-old pug has a one-of-a-kind superpower: he understands everything… and then promptly ignores it. Commands, conversations, even heartfelt pleas — he hears it all, processes it, and decides whether it’s worth his attention. Pair that with his love of treats (if it’s edible, it’s his) and squeaky toys (the louder, the better), and you’ve got a clever little mischief-maker who knows exactly how to get away with being irresistibly charming. ๐พ๐
He should be America’s favorite because he’s the perfect mix of mischief, charm, and love. With his wrinkly face, expressive eyes, and pint-sized personality, he makes everyone smile. He’s clever enough to understand everything—then hilariously choose to ignore it—showing the kind of independence and sass we secretly admire. Add in his endless love for treats, squeaky toys, and cuddles, and you’ve got a little ambassador of joy who turns every day into a laugh-filled adventure. ๐พ๐
