As part of the much-anticipated “PEOPLE Loves Pets: Dog of the Week” initiative, we’re delighted to introduce three remarkable small dogs who embody big personalities. This delightful series is presented in collaboration with Halo Collar, and kicks off with an exciting lineup of adorable canines. Meet Franklin, Romy, and Gibson, each of whom brings their unique charm to the table.
Kicking off this week’s celebrations is Franklin, a cheerful pooch who has become the beloved mascot of Pocasset Hardware. Franklin’s amiable nature makes him an instant favourite among everyone he encounters. Known for his affectionate kisses and an enthusiastic penchant for belly rubs, this little canine has a knack for brightening the day of customers and staff alike.

Next up is Romy, a resilient pup whose journey to a happy life is nothing short of inspiring. Having survived a puppy mill, Romy has triumphed over adversity to become a loyal companion and a passionate advocate for pet adoption. Together with her owner Carolyn, Romy not only enjoys her new lease on life but also raises awareness about the importance of adopting animals in need.
Completing our trio is Gibson, a spirited little one whose enthusiasm is infectious. This pint-sized dynamo is always ready to share his favourite toys or lend comfort to anyone feeling blue. With his unwavering commitment to spreading joy, Gibson has made it his mission to greet the world with a smile.
As you get to know these delightful dogs, we encourage you to participate in the celebration by casting your vote for your favourite. Each canine has their own special qualities, making them deserving of your affection. This engaging initiative not only showcases these lovable pups but also allows pet enthusiasts to come together in their appreciation for our four-legged friends.
Voting is open until Saturday, June 20th, allowing you ample time to support the pup that has won your heart. However, please remember that each individual is limited to one vote per day. Automated or excessive voting is prohibited and may result in disqualification, ensuring a fair process for each contestant.
Weekly updates will introduce new dogs eager to win your affection, so be sure to return for the next round of adorable nominees. Whether it’s Franklin’s gentle kisses, Romy’s heartfelt resilience, or Gibson’s ability to light up a room, each dog has a story worth sharing and celebrating.
Join us in recognising and honouring these incredible dogs who enrich our lives in so many ways. Your participation not only highlights the personalities of these charming animals but also promotes a sense of community among pet lovers everywhere. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this joyful celebration of canine companionship!
