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

He loves his Dinosaur toy it’s blue/green and it suits him so much. And same brand same material he loves the raccoon version. Even though he destroys most toys those ones lasted and so did their squeakers! His all time favourite, the rubber ball. He goes crazy if he knows we brought it on the walk. Treats is hard to say, he’s a big eater. He loves his doggy dental treats, and of course whatever his humans are eating. Things like tangerines make his salivate so much it’s surprising.

What is your dog's most unique quality?

For a beagle he isn’t too crazy. He’s got a lot of personality and he is stubborn, but he’s incredibly smart and well behaved. Even as a puppy he never chewed up or destroyed anything and learned to go ask to go outside very fast. We still have a whole box of puppy pee pads in the basement that we didn’t use. He’s hilarious, and has truly human facial expressions. He doesn’t rlly bark either he just howls. When he greets us it’s so loud he just screams. Check out his TikTok, @mr.richie_beagle!

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

He is an incredible dog. Very smart and very interesting. He’s friendly, but also self absorbed. He probably won’t care too much if you don’t have a treat or ball for him. In our neighbourhood he’s friends with all the dogs. Everybody knows him. He’s 9 years old, but as lively as a puppy. He deserves this. He also struggles with pancreatitis.It hurts to see him in pain. His poor stomach growling and causing him to throw up. If we win this money it would be great to use it to help him
