Fans of Governor Tim Walz - or famous pooches - can now get their hands a special collective figurine, thanks to The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

Scout Walz, the popular black Labrador Retriever adopted by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz now his own bobblehead.

"The bobblehead features Scout sitting on a red, white and blue base that has his name, Scout Walz, right on the front, and has an oversized tag," says Museum CEO Phil Sklar.

Scout was rescued from Oklahoma and delivered to Midwest Animal Rescue and Services in Brooklyn Park.

"Governor Walz had promised his son a dog if they won the race, and that's how Scout became the first dog of Minnesota," explained Sklar.

And 10-percent of the proceeds will be donated to Midwest Animal Rescue.

"We call it bobbleheads with a cause. We like to, you know, help out in the community whenever we can and donate whenever there's an opportunity to do something like that. I think that's the perfect way to support a great cause while also making a fun bobblehead that people will be able to enjoy," Sklar told WCCO Radio.

You can pre-order the bobblehead through the museum's website for $30.
