I am torn as to where we go next, so let’s talk about week 17 of the Eagles season. To say it was a disappointment would be an understatement. Prior to kick off, we heard that Michael Vick would plan and that there would be a great deal of importance placed on the Eagles vs. Cowboys finale. Well, someone forgot to tell the Eagles players that there was a game on. The Eagles lost, and were SHUT OUT! As you know, the Official Vick Dog Chew Toys are given away based on each TD scored by the Eagles and / or Michael Vick. It actually took my marketing partner 12 minutes to determine that if it was a shut out, that meant no TD’s scored, which means that no Official Vick Dog Chew Toy’s would be given out. In accordance to The Bark For Awareness Give Away, that is correct. However, in the spirit of giving back and raising awareness, which is the motto of the Official Vick Dog Chew Toy, no FREE dogs is no way to end a fantastic season. So, we went to the vault and determined that 3 FREE Official Vick Dog Chew Toys should be presented regardless of the ZERO that the Eagles put up.

Now, on to the winner: Once again a top winner and THE top vote getter won the vote contest. Carolina Care Bullies took 49% of the vote and won week 17, final regular season, of The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy Bark For Awareness Give Away! Congratulations!
