And the Oscar goes to…

What do you call a pup that has the body of a wiener but is also a winner, winner, winner? We named him 'OSCAR' – like the hot dog – and also OSCAR, like a well known prestigious award. This little guy is six months old, has a long low body, short stubby legs and paws. He is even a reddish brown like your favorite hot dog. He needs some companionship – a family with kids to play and entertain him and vice versa. 06/10/2025 11:21 AM
