We have an update on the two-legged dog who was a finalist in the contest to become the next Cadbury bunny!
This is “Lieutenant Dan.”
And he won the Cadbury bunny contest, making him the new spokes-animal for the iconic Easter candy.
Cadbury is the company behind the popular egg-shaped chocolate.
Lieutenant Dan was named after character from “Forrest Gump” because hiks back legs were amputated due to a deformity.
He even hops around on his front legs like a bunny when he’s not using his wheels to get around.
Dan beat out dozens of other furry competitors for the role in the annual Cadbury commercial.
And with the a face like that it is easy to see why this rescue dog got so many votes.
While Dan got some nice, pink ears from the gig, his owner took home $5,000.
No doubt Dan will get plenty of treats for that.
Just no chocolate eggs.
