Contestants From ‘Greatest American Dog’
July 4, 2008 - 11:07 am 

STUDIO CITY, Calif. (CBS) ― Roll over, “Big Brother!” CBS is again throwing reality show contestants under one woof, um, roof rather, in a fierce competition for $250,000, but this time it’s 12 quirky dog owners and their precious pooches being challenged. How will the two- and four-legged contestants get along with each other while competing for all those bones? Find out on July 10 at 8 p.m. when “Greatest American Dog,” debuts on CBS 2. 

But for now, let’s introduce you to some of the contenders! I was fortunate enough to interview some of them on our lot here in Studio City and Winnie, our station’s guide dog-in-training, even exchanged barks and a few sniffs with them. 

From Elvis, a fun-loving (and spoiled rotten) Parson Russell Terrier from New York City that just had a $10,000 “Bark Mitzvah,” to Tillman, a skateboarding English Bulldog that could give Tony Hawk a run for his money, these truly are some of America’s greatest dogs. 

I’ve been instant messaging Winnie in the promo department from the newsroom and here’s what we think: 

GUIDEDOG29: What a crazy news day… I need a break. Who do you think is going to win?

JENNCBS2: I liked everyone we met, Winnie. It’s hard to say, but I doubt everyone is going to get along in such close quarters, seeing as how they are all SO different. 

GUIDEDOG29: Obvie! There is definitely going to be some doggie drama. I really liked Preston and his mommy, Laura. She’s so pretty and smart. And I think Preston and I could be really good friends.
