Addison is a two year old Boxer. The reasons that Addison is the Greatest Dog in Kansas City are:
1. She is quite possibly the cutest dog of all time.
2. She is the neighborhood's favorite dog. People stop by on their walks so that they and their dogs can play with Addi in the front yard. She has never met a person or dog that she didn't like.
3. Loves Bombpops, her dad and rides in the truck more than life itself.
4. She was too advanced for Obedience Classes as a puppy.
5. She can inhale an entire chicken breast in under 5 seconds. I learned to push the plates back further on the counter after that one.

1) As you can see from the picture, Dixie is not like most dogs. She was a victim of neglect who has chosen to rise above the adversity that was her previous life and teach us all a lesson about perseverance; 2) Dixie jogs with me three times a week; 3) Dixie is taking an agility class. She may not win but she always finishes -- there's a life lesson in there somewhere, don't you think?; 4) Metaphorically, Dixie has climbed the mountain -- and twice literally -- in Arizona; 5) Dixie does obedience demonstrations at a local pet retailer.  The love that she demonstrates to me and anyone else who has met her didn't come out of a class but deep within her soul. One look into those big brown eyes says it all! This is one special dog!

Darwin is a 1-year old Beagador (Beagle Lab Mix) who was rescued when he was just a tiny pup. 

1) Darwin was born in St. Louis but jumped at the chance to relocate to Kansas City because he had heard that KC was the far superior Missouri City.
 
2) Darwin loves to catch grounders, just like his favorite Royal, Alex Gordon.
 
3) Darwin loves riding in the car and hanging his head out the window, especially when cruisin' around Brookside and the Plaza.
 
4) D-pup whined with his mother when Kansas State was knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by Wisconsin, but he was wagging his tail with his dad when Mario Chalmers hit that 3 pointer.  
 
5) Darwin will do anything for a Mike and Ike!

Starfox is a 9 week old Miniature Australian Shepherd.  He is the greatest dog in KC for several reasons. 1.) Starfox is soft and cuddly...  My friends like to call him a cotton ball on legs. 2.) Starfox has been with me for about 2 weeks now and he is very intelligent and learns new things quickly. 3.) Starfox is super friendly. He loves people and other animals. He is especially friendly towards anyone who is willing to rub his tummy! 4.) Starfox is by far the cutest little thing ever between his soft fur, one bright blue eye and one eye that is half bright blue and half brown, and his beautiful markings. 5.) Starfox is very playful. He loves going off by himself and playing with his toys, but he also loves playing with people and learning new games!

Oliver has already won a NATIONAL contest held by NBC's Today show:  http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/24714000/?pg=13#TODAY_UGC_pupsfinal

A few words from Oliver's owner, Brian Gray: [Oliver] loves to cuddle with his family on the couch and adamantly claims his share of the bed. It’s quite obvious that Oliver can’t tell the difference between beagles and people! One of the most interesting and entertaining things about Oliver is his addiction to green beans. Our vet told us to feed them to him as a healthy snack and now it’s a nightly ritual that can’t be broken. Starting around 8:30pm every evening he waits/hovers/whines/cries in the kitchen until he gets his snack and it’s always a sheer joy to him when he sees the can. (Yes, he can recognize a can of green beans!)

Molly is a year old Labradoodle. She absolutely loves life! Every day is a new adventure with new things to see and do. She's been through several obedience schools but still has a long way to go.

Gertie is everyone's favorite dog. I think she's Kansas City's greatest dog because: 1. I've never met a friendlier animal. 2. She is a great running partner. 3. She would be a great ambassador of our city by wagging her tail and rolling over for everyone who visits. 4. She's well-mannered and asks every night to get in bed. 5. As a rescue dog, she's been through a lot but still has so much love to give!

Why Neko is the greatest dog in KC
1. When you toss her a tennis ball, she collapses on the ground to avoid it.
2. She has excellent taste in shoes, only chewing on the most expensive patent leather pumps.
3. She barks at her own reflection in the fireplace.
4. She falls off the ottoman while licking herself.
5. So maybe she’s not the “best” by everyone’s standards.  But she lives every day to the fullest, full of love, gratitude and sheer joy.

Baxter is a clear-cut greatest dog in Kansas City for a number of reasons. First being he is a fan favorite at day care. There isn't a dog, he doesn't play well with or not get along with. The second is his love for humans. Baxter doesn't have a mean bone in his body and is always excited and happy to meet new faces. 3. Baxter goes with the flow. If the party needs to be started, he is there, if it is time for a nap, he is snoring right beside you. 4. He is VERY obedient. He understands house commands and listens to me when I need him to. 5. He is a GREAT companion. A true champion, this guy will stick by your side through thick and thin. Whether you have a cold and are stuck in bed, or out at the park meeting ladies, Baxter is up for the task. He is full of happiness and love and brings that to the table with everyone he meets.

Minor is the greatest dog in Kansas City because: 1. She was rescued from the side of the road when she was less than 6 months old. She had obviously been abused and was so scared. 2. After lots of training and love she is a well-behaved, wanting-to-please-you dog. 3. She loves to lie in the tub when we first go to bed, but likes sneaking into the bed in the middle of the night to cuddle. 4. She loves water, dives head first into it, has a wheelbarrel at my mom's that she curls up in to stay cool. 5. She is great at catching a frisbee and ball.

My buddy Bandit is the greatest dog in Kansas City because:
1. Bandit is a life saver. He was responsible for saving my dad’s life. My buddy woke me up in the early morning hours after hearing my dad fall out of bed. If Bandit hadn’t awakened me, my dad would have laid there for several hours without help.
2. Bandit is a great teacher. He has taught me compassion, responsibility, and how to love unconditionally. I was a selfish (and lonely) bachelor before Bandit came into my life. (I am still a bachelor by the way, in case there are any female dog lovers out there looking!)
3. Bandit is an eager learner. When I try to teach him something he looks at me so intently with those big brown eyes, wags  his tail, and is ready to do anything I ask of him.
4. Bandit definitely catches the ladies’ eyes. I think anyone would agree that my buddy Bandit is just so darn cute.
5. Bandit is a loyal companion. He was insistent that I take him home from the pound and he hasn’t left my side since.

Daisy is the newest addition to our family and she is the Greatest Kansas City Dog because she encompasses all the Midwestern values:

1. Love others as you would want to be loved: She addresses every human she meets with love and licks..if only we all treated our neighbors with this much love our world would be at peace.
2. Always make a friend, never make an enemy: Two things Daisy loves, other woof woofs and humans. She has never met a stranger she didn't like.
3. Family values are of most importance: Daisy is a caring and wonderful sister to a black lab named Sophie and a wonderful and kind daughter. Once when her mother was sick she cuddled in bed next to her all day without any whining or bathroom breaks.
4. Money doesn't make the world go round, love does: Once Daisy actually ate a dollar bill just to make this point.

First off, Brutus is extremely smart. He has figured out we spell many of his favorite toys now. Second, he is very sweet and loving. He is always there to show ya some love no matter how you might be feeling. Third, he is very fast. He raced last year at the Woodlands and if it hadn't been for the TV camera, he would have won his race. Fourth, he is just so cute. I mean, how can anyone resist that face? And last but not least, he is my little baby. To me that's the reason he is KC's best dog!

Cosmo became part of our family after our daughter found him on a cold winter day roaming the highway in Minnesota. He was approximately 10 weeks old when we decided to give him a home. In return, he has become a very important part of our family. He not only enlightens our life by behaving impeccably, never even barking, but he spreads joy and laughter when he catches a tennis ball on the fly from a slingshot, he jumps off the lake dock for any toy, or plays tag with the grandkids. He's a real trouper to try anything - he even found that he loves riding the jetski. After only 2-1/2 years he seems to know all our moves before we even make them. Because he is so good with strangers he has now been trained and certified as a therapy dog to visit people with special needs. He's done such a great job filling our empty nest that our two grown daughters are getting jealous :-). Someone's loss was definitely our gain!!!

1. Jack is up for anything, whether it is sleeping in or going for a 10 mile trail ride! And yes, he will sleep in later than I do!
2. He loves to travel and does great in a car or a boat! We just took him on a float trip and he didn't tip us once!
3. He gets so excited chasing rabbits out in the pasture he whines while he runs. The first time he did it I thought something was wrong!! Still hasn't caught one....
4. He will wait for my fiance to leave in the mornings before he jumps on the bed for a morning cuddle. 
5. Everybody loves him and comments on how pretty his coat is. We always joke and say it is the sticks of butter he disposes of for us if we forget to put it away. :)

Sara is the GREATEST KC DOG because she is our fluffy ST. PAT'S puppy with doe eyes who
has persevered through 8-plus surgeries for hip dysplaysia and complications. REASONS: #1
Because of her, we have made the friendship of Dr. Jimi Cook (MU, the 2008 Best Vet in the
USA). #2 Sara reminds me daily that luck is not determined by the day you were born on (March
17, which is also my birthday), but by what you make of the time you have. #3 Sara loves walks
on the beach (Florida vacations) and is thankful for the small gifts she receives daily (walks in
the 'burg, smelling rabbit tracks in the back yard, and announcing the neighbor's cat is after the
birds we feed). #4 She is 11 yrs old and rejoices when she can spend time with our two adult
children, Ryan & Jennifer. #5 Sara thinks it is a good day when the ice dispenser bestows frozen
treats from nowhere.

Bear is a German shepherd/husky/chow who was abandoned as a puppy. We adopted Bear on Father's Day for Dad so that he could have another boy around the house. Bear protects our ducks, peacocks and turkeys from coyotes and other predators. He is very smart and picks up new tricks quickly. He loves to give kisses and makes the whole family happy!

We adopted Buddy from Wayside Waifs in 1993, a rescued and likely abused 2/3-year-old Golden Retriever / Cocker Spaniel mutt with just 3 days to live before he would have to be put down. As he learned to shake rather than jump as a greeting, Buddy quickly became dearly beloved by our family and the neighborhood. He is protective but gentle-- standing guard on the stairway landing until the family goes to bed and barking if a stranger approaches the door, but patient with the neighborhood kids who want to pet (or pounce on) him. When my brother and I were small, protective Buddy would bark if the roughousing got too rough. As we grew older, Buddy would let us feel safe when we were at home alone. He also took on special roles as alarm clock (when no one else could get my brother up for school), opossum guard (chasing many such critters out of the yard), and the classic kitchen mop (snatching up any dropped food from under the table). Now at 18 and mostly deaf, Buddy is not as active as he used to be, but is still as good and as important to our family as ever. Always eager to play (especially with his rope bone), eager to please, obedient and sweet, Buddy has certainly been the best dog we've ever had.

Why is Buddy the greatest dog? We rescued him, but he has rewarded us with so much love. The happy greeting when we come home. Lots of kisses, laughter at his crazy puppy tricks and walks in the park that are again filled with the wonder of this natural world with its smells and sights. He shares our comfy chairs, curls up next to us in our big bed each night. He guards our house, but greets our friends with his doggie joy.
Most of all he has done what many surgeons try do each day, heal a broken heart. He is John’s boy and Pat’s baby. I see in his loving heart and beautiful eyes, the spirit of our little Holly living again.

-He was a rescue dog.
-He survived a Kansas winter on his own.
-He needed us as much as we needed him.
-His Boston Terrier heredity lives in his disposition.
-His love and joy filled our house.
-He guards our house, but happily greets our friends, 
-He filled a spot in two lonely hearts after we lost our Holly dog, a companion of twelve years. 
-He gives us a reason to again walk in the park. 
-He is a very good and smart dog.

He is truly John‘s boy and Pat‘s baby, and he healed two broken hearts.

Ussie is the mascot of Jewish Vocational Service’s Sheltered Workshop. She came to us after being rescued from a highway bridge in Carthage, Missouri. Tracy Mauk, Support Specialist at Developmentally Disabled Services of Jackson County—EITAS, presented Ussie to JVS, where she has been a friend to all of us here for almost a year.

Five reasons why Ussie is the best dog in town? We could come up with a hundred, but here are the ones we chose:

1. Ussie is the world’s most adorable workshop mascot. She has become a member of the workshop family. She is irreplacable.
2. Ussie gets along with her peers. She is a very tender hearted dog. Her best friend is a cat!!!
3. She is not a picky eater. Thanks to Ussie being an undiscriminating eater, most of us manage to stay within our daily calorie allotment.
4. She is the official door bell answerer. Most of the time Ussie hears people approaching before the doorbell rings. She knows everyone by sight.
5. She is a ferocious guard dog. Ussie guards the workshop with her life. She will bark ferociously at strangers.

In fairness to other doggies, she does have two weaknesses:

1. Having her belly rubbed.
2. Being given doggie treats.
Either or both of these will turn Ussie from a defender into a friendly, fickle, fun–loving doggie.

Her many friends email her at ussie@jvskc.org. She answers all of her emails, although her spelling and grammar are not always the best.

1. Riley helped our family get over the death of our prior Jack Russell. Who can resist puppy breath?
2. Riley plays and loves each of us differently. She is great at playing with Dylan, my son. Just laying with Rick, my husband.
3. Riley lets you know with a bark that she needs water, with a bark and jump that she wants outside, let's just say she likes to bark.
4. Riley keeps all the other dogs in line that live with her. Even though she is the smallest, she's at the top of the heap.
5. Most importantly she was my constant companion during my fight with breast cancer. When I could not find anything I could eat she gladly finished off the meal. Even though she knew it would ruin her girlish figure. Thanks, Riley.

On April 26th, I lost my best friend and great kove, my wife Cathy. I had a great void in my heart. I found the most beautiful creature who has these wonderful traits. 1: Every night she comes running to me and jumps into my arms and actually gives me a hug. 2: Going on walks with her, she looks up to me with a smile.  3:It is nice to talk to her. She listens and does not talk back. 4:Every night she cuddles up as close as she can and sleeps all night. Unfortunately she does snore.  5:Even when she is bad and you tell her about it, she looks up at you with her innocent eyes and you melt like butter. So this four-legged beautiful and loving creature is not only the Greatest Dog in Kansas City, but the Greatest Dog in the World to me because she has filled a great void in my heart and life. Her name is Miss Cathy.  God Bless and Thank You.

The top 5 reasons my dog Felipe is the best dog in the Kansas City area. My son bought/rescued Felipe from a Market Square while studying abroad in Central Mexico. So, the first reason Felipe is the best is because he is an immigrant who truly appreciates living in America. The 2nd reason Felipe is the best is because he is a styling dog. He has more outfits than Paris Hilton. The 3rd reason is because Felipe is an awesome ballplayer. He can catch and retrieve better than most KC Royals. The 4th reason is because Felipe is a BIG Chiefs fan. He does the tomahawk chop for rallies and has a great howl when the Chiefs score a touchdown. The 5th and most important reason Felipe is the best dog is I know there's no other dog in Kansas City, or for that matter in the whole wide world, who is a better Buddy.

Fergie is a 7 month old female Brindle Boston Terrier. We decided to get another dog when we were questioning do we have our first child or opt for the easier thing, a dog. Well, we took the easier route and bought Fergie who is completely our fur child. Fergie is the type of dog that you can take anywhere, no dogs allowed signs do not pertain to us, because she is small enough to hide and never barks. She also has a personality, when we have guests she first inspects them by looking them up and down, then she shakes her entire body in excitement when she approves and is looking for love. She also knows that no matter what is going on that her dog bed is her spot for relaxation. Whether we are camping, boating, or having a party, when she gets tired she goes to her bed and lies down. Of course, this dog does tricks too. We do the whole sit, stay, lie down, shake, and fetch, what would be a dog if you didn’t do some kind of tricks. The best thing about Fergie is her face, sweet and loving. Even though I never know what she is thinking, I feel like her eyes tell you everything that she is feeling, sick, sad, tired, happy, annoyed, and playful. She has definitely been the greatest add to our family. Hope you enjoy the picture of her boating with her life jacket on, you know safety first!

Pooka is a wonderful dog, and, as you can see, a winner in the show ring (he finished his championship in 2006). But winning ribbons in the show ring isn't what makes him special.

-He's well-mannered, thanks to obedience training, which makes it a pleasure to take him with me when I run errands. He loves to meet new people.

-He makes sure my husband and I get enough exercise, and he's a great exercise partner.

-He has a strong work ethic, and takes very seriously the jobs we give him.

-He's a faithful companion and a good guard dog.

-He keeps the rabbits out of the yard.

The following reasons are why I think that General is the Greatest. He was born on Elvis' 70th Birthday 1-8-2005.  He participated in last years 99.7Ky Elvis parade.  General has ridden a motorcycle to Sturgis twice.  He has ridden the full length of the Blue Ridge Parkway twice.  He rode in the 2008 Run for the Wall.  All the way to D.C.  He helps Welcome home and send off our troops with the Kansas Patriot Guard.  He rides in and supports many area charities.  He is a father and his son (Major) was born on Memorial Day 2008.  General is very friendly and loving and enjoys riding his new Harley Davidson.  He is also in one of Gail's Harley Davidson TV ads.  He also wears his Dogoggles while riding.  General is a great riding partner, he never complains about where we go or stay (except for the roach motel in Mississippi) but that's a whole other story itself.
