Greatest American Dog premieres tonight
Tune in tonight at 8 p.m. for the moment when reality television really goes to the dogs.
Okay, you could rightfully argue it did that a long while back.
"Greatest American Dog" will premiere tonight on CBS, and will pit a dozen dogs and their pet parents in weekly competition, all vying for $250,000 and the title of Greatest American Dog.
Okay, again, you could, and should, rightfully argue that title already belongs to your own dog.
Each week a panel of three judges (a.ka. standard business model for competition shows) will dispatch one set of contestants until a winner is crowned.
The judges are Wendy Diamond, author and top dog at Animal Fair Magazine, Allan Reznick, an at-large editor for Dog World and Dog Fancy magazine, and Victoria Stilwell, the dominatrix-clad dog trainer of Animal Planet's "It's Me or the Dog." The series host is zoologist Jared Miller.
Check back here every Friday for a recap of the show and photos.
