A little about me...
Hi there! My name is Lewie, but on Instagram I go by Lewis Vs the World—because, well, it kind of feels like that sometimes when you’re an 8-month-old Cockapoo trying to figure out the big wide world one squeaky toy at a time.

I may be small, but don’t let the fluff fool you—I’m full of personality, determination, and just a tiny bit of drama (especially when bath time rolls around). Since coming home with my forever family, life has been a whirlwind of belly rubs, training treats, and epic zoomies through the living room. My humans say I’m extremely smart, but also ridiculously funny—like when I try to “help” with laundry by running off with socks (sorry, not sorry).

These days, I’m working hard on my training. I’ve almost mastered “place,” even though staying still when someone’s making a sandwich is basically advanced-level obedience in my book. I’m also learning that not every squirrel in the yard needs to be barked at—but no promises.

One of my favorite things in the world is hanging out with my dog cousin Mac. We chase each other, steal each other’s toys, and then crash for long naps in the sun. I also love car rides, especially when I get to ride shotgun with the window down and my ears flapping in the breeze like I’m in a movie. Add a trip to the pet store or a stop for a puppuccino, and I’m in absolute heaven.

Every day, I’m learning what it means to be a good pup—and how to bring joy to the people around me. Whether it’s greeting my mom and dad with full-body wiggles, doing a little “sit” dance for my treat, or curling up like a croissant when they’re working, I make sure they know they’re loved.

This photo contest is a big deal to me, not just because I’m hoping to win (though I do look pretty darn cute in a bowtie), but because it’s a chance to support an amazing cause. The Humane Society helps animals find their own forever homes—just like I found mine. If my face can bring a smile to someone’s heart, maybe it can also help raise awareness and support for other animals waiting for their chance at love, safety, and squeaky toys of their own.

Thank you for considering me in this contest. I’m just a happy pup trying to make the world a fluffier, funnier place—one tail wag at a time.

Love,
Lewie 🐾
