You have all seen him in and around our emails, invitations and newsletters for years, but it was never official.

THE WINNER IS...

You voted and we listened... we even announced the winning name most voted on by YOU on the night of our 1st Annual Howl-O-Ween Ball with Witches in Bikinis! It was a tough battle at times, but before you knew it there was a mad rush of votes for the winner by a LANDSLIDE! So what is our mascot's new and forever name?

Congratulations to Jak and his family - Sadly the real Jak passed on Oct 21st after a bout with kidney failure. Visit the real Jak at http://www.pitbullsaloon.com/Jak.asp.

THE TOP NAMES

1. Jak My suggestion is Jak, after our little baby boy, who is terminally ill. He is a Stray from the Heart success story, and the CEO of the "CowPuppies". His courage and strength while being sick, taking his pills, and getting his IV, is an inspiration to everyone. He puts on a brave face every day, for my wife and I, and his two sisters, Cowgirl and Daisy, when we all know he doesn't feel good. He is the bravest dog I have ever know and will be missed, when the day comes, more then you can imagine. You can't find a better name for your mascot, then Jak. JAK could stand for "Joy, Affection and Kinship", everything a stray offers when adopted, that's if his name is chosen.
2. Stephen Colbert
It would be an honor (for everyone involved) for your mascot to be named after an American Hero and one true defender of Truth: Stephen Colbert, Phd.
3. Chance
Well-suited for a dog that has been given a second chance in life because that is what you give these wonderful animals; a chance to have a life of love and security.
4. Foster
5. Lucky
6. Homer
Because he's not a stray anymore; he has a home!
7. Thaddeus
8. Guiness
9. Rover
10. Beauregard Jackson Longbottom
French for handsome - nickname Bo Bo
