Is your dog super "Richmond?"
Do they have the attitude of someone who hates to cross the river, has had their car towed at least thrice and assumes anyone with an RVA sticker lives in Chesterfield?
And, most importantly, is he a good boy ... when it comes to sniffing butts in Barker Field?
Why it matters: The organizers of 804 Day are searching for the "most Richmond dog" to represent the city at this year's celebration — and that dog could be yours. All you have to do is play to win.
How it works: Nominate your dog by completing the entry form (a pic of your dog and a brief description) at StyleWeekly.com by noon on Thursday, July 18.
What the winning pup gets: A prize from Fan Vet, featured on StyleWeekly.com and their photo portrait by Style photographer Scott Elmquist.
Plus: The winning pup will be Richmond's Official Dog with unclear, onstage "ceremonial duties" for the second annual 804 Day event on Aug. 2 in Shockoe Bottom.
And have the best bragging rights.
What's next: The public will get to vote for the winning pup beginning Friday.
Worth noting: There's no official criteria for the Richmond dog, 804 Day spokesperson Jason Roop tells Axios.
So we decided to make up the above Richmond qualities. How'd we do? Reply and let us know.
