Introducing Norfolk's first Canine Crusader!

It's Isabelle! And the competition was tough! It came down to two votes in the last hours! 
Pug power prevailed!

Riverfest is a celebration of the rivers in Norfolk and our area. In just our city, we have the Elizabeth and the Lafayette Rivers plus all the branches and creeks. We are surrounded by water. 
So it's important for all of us to be careful about what can go in the rivers, like dog poop or lawn chemicals. Sadly, it's not safe to swim or eat fish from these rivers right now.
So Riverfest was born to encourage people to learn more about the simple things that we can all do to make a difference. 

Here are Fergie and Sophie, two of our fellow finalists.

Sophie is a blue Great Dane.

Fergie was first runner up

 Here I am waiting to see who won. Mom even got me a new shirt that says Green Dog with the recycle logo on it. 












Here's me after I won!
 Me checking out the ground. No litter!


Check out this awesome basket I won! 
The awesome Muddy Paws of Norfolk provided all these goodies!

 Here's me enjoying the beautiful April sunshine after we got home. Being a celebrity is hard work!


A huge thank you to everyone who voted for Isabelle. We know that our friends Zoe, Peyton, Webster, Liberty, Whitney and Ms. Ellen voted a lot! And asked all their friends to vote too! We couldn't have it done it without you! Seriously, two votes! So thank you for helping us win!

  5. Congrats, Isabelle! That is awesome news. They could not have chosen a better spokespug.

    My mom wants to thank you for not believing all the hype about me being a saint. She says you are the only one. I think mom deserves everything I put her through, because Lucky is so perfect if I weren't a devil dog, she'd be bored with me.

  6. Congrats, Isabelle. You will be an awesome spokespug!

    Mom wants to thank you for not believing all the hype about me being a saint. She says you are the only one I haven't fooled. I think mom deserves everything I do to her. Since Lucky is so perfect, if I were perfect too mom would be bored. And we can't have that now, can we?
