Thanksgiving Contest: Winners & Honorable Mentions!

For Thanksgiving 2017, we asked our fans to post a special picture of their dog or dogs that shows why they’re so thankful for their best buds. The pet parent posting our favorite big dog photo won a Big Barker of their choice, and our favorite little dog pic won a Barker Jr! We got so many cute submissions that we thought we’d share the honorable mentions along with the two winners.

It was a tough decision… did we make the right choice?

Donna & Dexter

american bulldog

“This is Dexter, he’s a 10.5 month old American Bulldog and already weighs 72 pounds. I found this guy not long after my old Boston Terrier bff passed away. I cried everyday looking at puppies because I missed Rocky so much and needed a new buddy. I happened to see a pic of a brand new litter of babies that looked just like baby Bostons, but were Am. Bulldogs, did some research and decided to go for it. I found out Dexter was born the same week Rocky had died and when he was finally ready to come home, I knew pretty quick that we were meant to be. He’s been the best dog. Easy to train, loving, playful and I’ve never seen a dog happier to see me when I come home, (and I’ve had 2 forever dogs in my life already!) I think he deserves a Big Barker bed because he’s still got a lot of growing to do and a long life ahead of him and I want him to be healthy, happy and comfortable! Plus, maybe with a fantastic bed, he’ll stop trying to break the recliner!”
