It’s a ruff job, but somebody’s got to do it! April is National Safe Digging Month, and to celebrate, Michigan Gas Utilities (MGU) is looking for its first-ever safe digging “ambassadog.”
The winning pup will be featured in an ad campaign on social media to help spread an important safety message: Doggone it! Call 811 at least three days before you dig.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Take pictures of your dog digging and in his or her favorite place to dig.
- Fill out this form before 11:59 p.m. Sunday, April 9.
MGU will narrow down the entries, then give customers the paw-some responsibility of picking the top dog. The ulti-mutt winner will be the star of the utility’s safe digging awareness campaign all year long. Look for bark-ing news updates on the contest on MGU’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
