If there’s a saving grace to Greatest American Dog, it’s the dogs themselves. They are charmers that steal the show and warm even the most cynical critic’s heart.
The inside scoop? Tillman, the bulldog, really is a farter. And Preston, the white Pomeranian with the red stripe on his head, is a moocher whose stare can instantly hypnotize you into gladly giving up any piece of food in your hand.
Columbia Spectator favors Laura and Preston!

Dear CBS: please don’t vote Tillman off the island. The skateboarding English Bulldog is practically the only thing that’ll salvage ratings for Greatest American Dog. Your latest reality show gimmick is like any other—bring a dozen strangers together and let them duke it out for the 250k. The difference here is that you’ve allowed the members of this drama-laden cast to bring their best friends, and being of the canine variety, these loveable pooches are hailed as the stars of the show.
But really, CBS, Tillman should get top dog billing. Your cameras love him, and I know I’m not the only one who couldn’t resist his laborious efforts to get onto the block during doggie musical chairs. Sure, some of the other contestants are OK—in fact, I’ve taken a particular liking to Laura and Preston, her purebred Pomeranian who understands over 100 words and phrases. And Star, a purebred Brittany, is also endearing. He’s helped owner Bill deal with his wife’s diabetes, and the senior and his playful pup seem to be having a genuinely good time on the show. But the rest of them—they’re just in it for their own 15 minutes of fame much like any other blue-blooded reality show contestant.
