The two-legged pup with the biggest personality won Cadbury USA’s Easter Bunny Contest.
Cadbury USA took to social media to ask America to help decide this year’s winner. There were lots of contenders, but these were the finalists that gave Lieutenant Dan a run for his bunny ears... get it. Alright, not that funny but we need this wholesome content and all the puns right now.
"Lieutenant Dan is the epitome of inspiration, passion and energy, showcasing that no matter what challenges you, you can overcome it," said Ethan Mandel of the Cadbury Brand team.
The Treeing Walker Coonhound was born with his hind legs and tail deformed. He quickly started using only his front legs for support. At six months old, his owners made the difficult decision to amputate his back legs and later his tail. He now uses a Walkin' Wheels wheelchair to help him run and play just like any other dog, according to Walkin' Pets.
In the end, this good boy won America’s hearts and took the crown. Congratulations Lieutenant Dan and thank you for making us all smile along with you!
