RICHMOND, Va. (WAVY) — You’ve seen that furry face before. In a tuxedo, chilling in a pool, zooming in a rocket ship — seemingly any place a tiny, tiny dog will fit … and nap.
“It’s Bunky’s world, we’re just living in it,” according to the Joel Bieber Firm , whose TV and billboard ads have made the 13-year-old, 8-pound rescue dog a household name in Richmond and Hampton Roads.
So much so in RVA that Bunky’s been named Richmond’s Official Dog of 804 Day , the city’s big, free block party festival on Friday, Aug. 2, at 17th Street Market in Shockoe Bottom. He’ll kick off the festivities at 4 p.m. with style.
Bunky garnered thousands of votes in a contest from Style Weekly and 804 Day: Richmond’s Biggest Block Party to win the honor.
“He is blind in one eye, missing some teeth, and has a pretty significant heart murmur – but you truly wouldn’t know it with all his spirit!!” his entry for the contest reads.
