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

He has no teeth, but he loves eating Caesar dog food after I mush it up.

What is your dog's most unique quality?

Brutus got my attention one day when he was 1 year old. I was walking through a parking garage where I lived when I heard a funny, frantic barking sound, which made me turn towards it. When I turned, there he was on the roof of a car, jumping up & down trying to get my attention. I walked towards him & when I was a foot away, he jumped into my arms. A bad person owned him, and I tried for years to get him, but finally, when it mattered most, he was able to run into my arms.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

He suffered so much in life before he came to me, such as physical abuse and being given narcotics, yet his resilience and loving personality helped him to survive and still be a loving companion. He was starving and only 4 lbs when I was finally able to rescue him. He was scared, ill & shaking, but ran into my arms because he knew he was finally going to be safe. He has been with me now for almost 4 years.
