Louie is a Star in St. Louis

Of the more than 120 dogs joining their owners on MINI TAKES THE STATES 2014, one particular four legged friend proved to be very popular with other Motorers as the coast-to-coast rally reached the city of St Louis.

MINI fans Greg Clawson and Shaun Young took their English bulldog, Louie, to the evening party at the Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, Illinois, where he met a stream of Motorers all keen to say hello.

“Louie has had an amazing reaction from other MINI owners here.” Said Greg, who owns a 2009 2009 MINI Cooper, “So many people have wanted to meet him and take photographs of him.”

Shaun, who works in advertising, said they were inspired to own an English bulldog after seeing the MIN commercials, in particular the ‘sniffing’ campaign.
