Meet Ziggy, this week’s adorable winner! This puppy had a rough start — taken from his mother at just three weeks old, he couldn’t even chew dog food at first and didn’t really know how to socialize with other dogs. However, over the following few months, he persevered and turned into a little ball of energy. His new mommy adopted him at four months old, having faith in little Ziggy, even though she was told that he was very hyper and not smart enough to train.

And boy was she right to believe in this pup! A recent obedience school graduate, the now 10-month-old Ziggy has been making his mom proud ever since. He gives lots of cuddles, loves to play with his squeaky toys, and will try just about anything to get a tasty treat. In fact, he has been known to attempt to trade his toys for a handout, once trying to secure a green bean by offering up his favorite toy, as if to say, “I will give you this awesome toy for just one tiny little bean.”

Ziggy will soon be receiving some treats of his own, with his Halo goodie bag on its way. This cute little pooch sure does deserve it!
