Why everyone should vote for my animal
Stephen Hawking is our black-and-white pitbull with the biggest heart you could ever imagine. Behind his strong, handsome build is the sweetest soul, always ready with a wide, happy grin and gentle eyes that seem to understand everything. He has a way of making everyone feel welcome the moment they walk through the door.

Stephen takes his role as host very seriously. Whenever someone comes over, he proudly leads them to the couch so they can properly sit down and say hello to him. No quick greetings allowed — Stephen believes in full, heartfelt introductions.

Despite his size, he’s a total cuddle bug. His favorite place in the world is under the covers in bed, burrowed in close where it’s warm and cozy. He doesn’t just sleep near us; he has to be tucked in, right where he belongs.

Stephen isn’t just our dog — he’s our comfort, our greeter, and the biggest love in our home.
