In celebration of National Dog Day on Aug. 26, Baymont by Wyndham announced its second nationwide contest: “Baymont Buddy of the Year.”

Last year, the pet-friendly hotel brand launched its inaugural search for “Baymont Buddy of the Year.” The winning pup will be the brand’s official pet ambassador. However, the lucky pet owner will receive a $10,000 payday, a two-night hotel stay for the campaign photoshoot and an upgrade to Wyndham Rewards® Diamond status. Pet owners can submit their furry friends from Aug. 22 – Sept. 19. 

“For many of our guests, family vacations just wouldn’t be complete without their four-legged family members, which is why we’re recognizing one special dog who exemplifies what it means to be the ultimate travel companion,” brand leader and vice president of operations, Baymont by Wyndham, Greg Giordano, said. “With hundreds of pet-friendly hotels, Baymont’s signature hometown hospitality embraces the joy and companionship of travel, especially with our furry friends.”

The Baymont Welcome Buddy program onsite at select Baymont hotels includes water bowls and dog treats upon arrival. Although their Love Field location has been a great Dallas stay, pet owners could have a chance to win more than just a trip. 

Owners can submit their pet’s photo and share a brief description of why their dog should be Baymont’s 2023 ambassador. According to the announcement, preference will be given to formally trained and camera-friendly dogs.
