Dundee Boy (a former Best Friends Dog) and his best pal Scruffy Doo could be on a TV commercial in Chicago if they get enough votes!
According to a proud doggy momma, Yvette Pina, if you are in the Chicago area, you should tune into Channel 26, WCIU. In between shows they are using promo spots to advertise other shows - they picked her boys, Dundee Boy and Scruffy Doo, to introduce the show "King of Queens".
For those who aren't in Chicago, she has uploaded the video to
YouTube!
Please vote for Dundee Boy and his pal Scruffy Doo by following these instructions - not an easy link because they have a flash-driven site:
1. Go to
http://www.wciu.com (be patient - takes time to load)
2. Scroll down, on the left side click on the box entitled Pets
3. Next Page is UDog and Friends - Scroll down, on the center of the page click on Vote for your Favorite Top Dog
4. Dundee Boy and Scruffy Doo are in the second column far right, 4th one down - click VOTE
5. After you vote, page will refresh and it will show the voting results by percentage.
You can vote everyday - and even multiple times a day if you refresh your browser, so
6. Refresh and vote again!
Thanks for voting. And if you are in Chicago and see the promo live, please let Yvette know at
ympina@gmail.com.

Note: Best Friends Network member,
Catblessed, has discovered a shortcut when voting multiple times. Once you’ve gone through the steps above, rather than refreshing and going through the pages again, instead:
“After you vote for Dundee, move your mouse cursor to the red bar that runs across the screen (right under the UDog and Friends logo). If you run your cursor over "Top Dog" (far left) a pull down menu comes down with 3 choices (Vote for top dog, rules, and submit your dog).
Chose "Rules" (leave your cursor there) and the rules page comes up. Cursor over Top Dog again to get the pull down menu again, but now chose "Vote for top dog." That will take you to the page to vote for Dundee. Scroll to the right and vote for Dundee. Don't need to wait for the page to completely refresh, just move your cursor back to the Top Dog bar and chose "rules" again. And repeat, and repeat, and repeat.
Summary of steps: Vote for Dundee, chose "rules," chose "Vote for Top Dog," vote for Dundee, chose "rules," chose "Vote for Tope Dog," etc.
You don't need to wait for a page to fully appear. As soon as you can get the pull down menu, just click away.” Please take a few minutes each day to vote multiple times. If Dundee Boy and Scruffy Doo win, they will be featured as “Top Dog” throughout the month of June. They will be publicized on both the UDOG website and get a special promotional spot on television. Let’s all come together to support a fellow Network member and former Best Friends resident.
