Guess Who’s Going to be in a Circuit City Commercial

It’s Hank! He’s the local Golden Retriever I blogged about that was competing to be “the next Firedog,” a contest put on by Circuit City. I have no personal ties to Hank, but I thought it was cool that the Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue (a local nonprofit that does exactly what its name implies) stood to win $50,000 if Hank won. That’s because Hank found a home through the organization. Hank was the only North Carolina dog in the contest.

As a side note, it’s pretty cool to think that the NRGRR will be $50,000 richer simply because of the power of the Internet. Organizers say people cast online ballots for Hank from not only the states, but also from Canada, Singapore, Venezuela, Grandy Cayman, Poland, Russia, England, Germany, France, India and other countries.
