What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreSasha’s favorite toy has always been my socks. No plush or squeaker could ever compete. To her, they’re the perfect combination of comfort, familiarity, and love a little piece of her person she can carry wherever she goes. At 13 years old, she still proudly steals them like treasures, proving some habits are simply timeless.
Sasha has an extraordinary emotional intuition. She seems to understand feelings before they’re spoken and responds with quiet loyalty and warmth. Despite her tiny Yorkie frame, she has a calming presence that fills the room. Thirteen years of love have made her wise, gentle, and deeply connected to the people she loves most.
America’s Favorite Dog should represent heart, devotion, and resilience, and Sasha embodies all three. She reminds us that love doesn’t fade with age; it grows deeper. With her sock-stealing charm and unwavering loyalty, Sasha proves that the smallest dogs can leave the biggest paw prints, and that’s something America can celebrate.
