Baron, our blind-and-deaf boy who was recently adopted by Wendy M. in Missoula, has won KPAX-TV’s "Greatest Montana Dog" contest … by a landslide! He totaled 2,102 votes, nearly twice as many as the runner-up who had 1,076 votes.
Wendy sent out an email today to friends and family on Baron’s win and included the photos you see here of Baron at her office. That’s what I call "hard at work." Here are excerpts from Wendy’s note:

Montana’s Greatest Dog: Baron!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who voted for this precious little dog. A big thanks goes out to Steve and Alayne at Rolling Dog Ranch for posting the contest on their blog, giving Baron a commanding lead!
The representative from KPAX said that Baron was a shoe-in for the Top 10 and the hardest part of the competition was picking the other nine dogs! He was amazed at the support Baron had nationwide and thought all the comments were fantastic….
Baron has become quite the celebrity around Missoula (Stoney too!) and gets recognized everywhere we go. It’s nice to know he has support all around the U.S. as well. Thanks again for giving this awesome dog with special needs some recognition!
-Wendy
P.S. I’ve attached some photos of Baron "the Great" lounging at my work. Getting petted all the time is so exhausting.

No word yet on whether KPAX will be airing a story to follow up on the contest. But if they do, I don’t think Baron would be camera shy!
