“So, I met up with Wilson to see how he’s found celebrity..”
My pal Wilson won the Most Handsome title at the 14th Annual Ugly Dog Contest last March. I was curious to see how fame had affected my old friend.
Well, he said fame hadn’t changed him much. He still gets the same kibble, sports the same leash and collar. But I couldn’t help but notice a spring in his step and faster wag to his tail.
“Multi-million $$ endorsements on the horizon?”
Something looked different about him. (Besides the fact he’s like 250 pounds & as tall as a small pony!) OK, so he’s sporting a different scarf, but? “What’s up?” I ask. You bringing in the swag? New Ferrari dog bed? Maybe a endorsement deal with Petco? “Nope.”
“It’s the ladies son, they won’t leave me alone!”
Yep, it’s the babes. Fame will do it to ya. You get a title and all of a sudden, they come crawlin out of the kennels. Add a pedigree to the mix, and its all over. So I ask the big question, “Hey Wilson, can I have the ones you don’t want?” Hey, I’m a dog, what do you expect?
“Hanging on out with Wilson”
So here we are, me and Wilson. Just two handsome guys with lots in common, sharing stories, and sniffin’ around.
I love this dog! His head is bigger than your dogs entire body. What breed is he? I think I saw him at the Encinitas Street Fair a few weeks ago? Nice blog site by the way, it has a real home town feeling. When will I see some articles on my neck of the woods in Carlsbad?
Jocelyne, thanks for the great coverage on Wilson. We are sure proud of our boy. He has been on a real roll
since Del Mar….won the Largest Dog at Solana Beach
and at Fallbrook, then was the winner in the Largest
Paws category at Woofstock held in Balboa Park a couple of weeks ago. Recently he passed his final test
and is now a therapy dog working with Chapter 206 of Therapy Dogs International. He had his first job three days ago visiting with two classes of
third graders at the Escondido Humane Society. We are
very excited about his future contributions to visiting schools, hospitals, etc. Our big boy will bring many smiles to a lot of people. Thanks again for
sharing the website with Wilson’s story.
