Woody Bradshaw Expands “Bestest Ever Friend” Into a National Movement Celebrating Dogs, Family, and Community Life

Following the success of his touching new single “Bestest Ever Friend,” Nashville recording artist Woody Bradshaw is launching a national movement that celebrates the loyalty, emotional healing, and sense of community dogs bring into people’s lives. The Bestest Ever Friend Movement invites collaboration with animal shelters, nonprofits, and major pet brands to champion dogs’ roles in family life, wellness, and emotional well-being. Through a combination of storytelling, music, and purpose-driven partnerships, the initiative aims to spark a national conversation about unconditional love and the powerful connection between humans and their dogs. The song’s warmth and authenticity make it a natural centerpiece for campaigns that encourage adoption, volunteering, and mental wellness initiatives. Bradshaw is inviting partnerships with leading companies such as Purina, The Farmer’s Dog, Pedigree, Blue Buffalo, Hill’s Science Diet, Merrick, BarkBox, Kong, Chewy, PetSmart, Petco Love, Ruffwear, Maxbone, Honest Paws, and Earth Rated to bring the campaign to life across the country. What began as a single about one dog’s love has evolved into a national movement celebrating the emotional and social impact of dogs on everyday life. Bradshaw’s vision is to unite communities, shelters, and brands that believe in the healing power of the human–dog bond. He sees music as a universal connector and hopes this movement will inspire compassion, adoption, and appreciation for the comfort that dogs provide to their families and communities. Bradshaw’s goal is to establish the campaign as a long-term platform for collaboration, celebration, and giving back, and is told from the dog’s point of view, offering listeners a heartfelt and relatable story that resonates deeply with pet owners. The track captures everyday joys — from morning greetings and playful walks to loyal companionship — while reminding listeners that for every dog, their human is their entire world. Guided by the exceptional talent of renowned producer Stephan Oberhoff, the song carries a richness and emotional depth that only his artistry can deliver. Drawing from Bradshaw’s real experience with Bailey, the chocolate Labrador he fostered after a painful breakup in 2013, the song tells a timeless story about the deep connection between dogs and their families. What began as temporary comfort became a life-changing bond that shaped his understanding of love, loyalty, and emotional healing. Bailey’s companionship showed him that the love dogs give is pure, constant, and transformative, themes that now guide his creative and philanthropic work. With previous releases like “Hallelujah,” “It’s Good to Be Home,” and “The Blues Are Back in Town,” Bradshaw has continued to build a reputation for music that blends authenticity, emotional depth, and community spirit. Now, through Bestest Ever Friend , he aims to create a nationwide platform that unites pet lovers, advocates, and brands under one joyful message. Millions of pet owners will recognize the truth in the song’s sentiment that sometimes, a person’s best friend ever walks on four legs. Woody Bradshaw invites brands, charities, and communities to partner with him in sharing that message and spreading love, one song and one wagging tail at a time.
