Voting is now underway to select the next We Energies safe digging “ambassadog.” The winner will help promote an important safety message: Doggone it! Call 811 at least three days before you dig.
We Energies customers from across the state submitted pictures of their adorable canines. Ten paw-some pups were selected as finalists, and now you get to decide the ulti-mutt winner.
Choose from:
Bentley — A 2-year-old pup from Dousman who likes to hike, explore and run from window to window watching his “brown furry friends”… also known as deer.
Cheddar — An almost 2-year-old pup from Milwaukee who loves playing soccer, going for bike rides and chasing her friends.
Cooper — A 6-month-old golden retriever from Muskego who likes long walks in the park and feeling the wind in his fur on car rides with his head out of the window.
Dr. Doom and Scar — Two Australian shepherd brothers from Waukesha who, despite their villainous names, are trained service dogs.
Knight — A 6-year-old greyhound from Menomonee Falls who loves to run, sleep and sniff his way around a park.
Levi — A 4-month-old pup from Franklin who loves to roll in (or eat) stinky things while trying to befriend his cat brother.
Mia — An 8-year-old husky mix from Muskego who loves running zoomies with her favorite mitten and taking part in 5K events to support working K9s.
Queso — A 5-year-old frisbee-catching champion from Campbellsport who loves a good photoshoot.
Roxas — A 4-year-old from Greenfield who loves hiking and is always looking for squirrels and rabbits to chase.
Sally – A 5-month-old Australian shepherd from Genoa City who loves to eat everything and anything and chase dirt bikes.
