  "account": "Walker Hayes, a beloved country musician and devoted family man, is celebrating his newfound role as a proud dog owner with the release of a new song. The Grammy-nominated artist, who is married with six children, now extends his love to his four-legged family members, Puckett and Copper, as well as to a beloved pup named Skeeter, who unfortunately passed away. To pay tribute to America's Heartland and support both American farmers and the environment, Hayes has teamed up with Canidae Heartland, a pet food line that emphasizes farm-raised nutrition. As part of this partnership, Hayes penned a touching song titled \"Love Is a Four-Legged Word,\" which pays homage to his bond with his dogs and his late canine companion. The song begins with Hayes expressing his affection for his dogs before shifting to Skeeter's perspective, with the lyrics capturing their unique friendship. The country star originally crafted the tune as a theme for an animated kids series he's working on, but he adapted it for the Canidae campaign. Canidae Heartland dog food is crafted with real meat, ancient grains, and no artificial additives, and the brand donates 1% of each purchase to the American Red Cross. Available in three flavors—farm-raised chicken, Pacific salmon, and countryside lamb—the brand's all-natural formula is designed to support both canine health and the health of pets' communities. Highly rated by shoppers on Walmart.com, Canidae Heartland dog food is an excellent choice for both adult dogs and puppies alike.",
