Riley, is a big, velvet-furred lovebug. A gentle giant who thinks he's a lap dog & gives the best snuggles. My best friend.
Thank you for supporting Riley in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid PAWS in their mission to help cats, dogs, and wild animals thrive in happy, healthy homes or in their natural habitats.
What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreFor Riley, the rawhide chew transcends the definition of a mere toy; it is an enduring, high-stakes commitment. This resilient, textured roll, derived from the inner layer of an animal hide, is the ultimate vehicle for his deep-seated, instinctual need to chew. The rawhide's appeal is rooted in its longevity and resistance. Unlike a fleeting edible treat or a quickly destroyed plush toy, a rawhide provides a dedicated, focused activity that can span a significant amount of time.
For Riley, bath time is the "Happiest Place on Earth." The tub is his personal "Magic Kingdom." He enters a world of pure, soapy adventure. The initial rush of warm water is the thrilling descent on Splash Mountain. His fleet of plastic ducks are the beloved Disney characters, ready for a photo op. The colorful bubble bath foam? That's the fluffy white clouds of Fantasyland, perfect for sculpting crazy shapes. A squirt of shampoo becomes the exhilarating burst of fireworks.
Riley embodies everything America loves in a pet: unwavering loyalty and pure, uncomplicated joy. Whether Riley is a playful Golden Retriever or a sassy, independent tabby cat, they are a master of comfort. Riley’s morning greetings, their comforting presence on the couch during a tough day, and their ability to turn a simple walk into an adventure are all testaments to their star quality. They remind us to live in the moment, love unconditionally, and approach the world with a wagging tail.
