Pets On The Tube - Greatest American Dog

Barking mad could be the description for some of the cast on the new reality pet show Greatest American Dog. I caught my first glimpse of the pup friendly show that features dog and owner teams living and competing together in the chance to win a $250,000 cash prize and the title of GREATEST AMERICAN DOG.

The competitions maybe a little wacky (does passing an agility test really make your pet the Greatest American Dog and having an actual dog house the owners have to stay in?) but the full of personality pets leave you wanting more. A few personal favorites right off the bat, Tillman the Bulldog from Oxnard CA and Elvis the Russell Terrier from New York City.

To check out Greatest American Dog, tune into CBS on Thursdays, 8pm et/pt or visit their website at CBS.com. You can also meet the dogs at Dogster.com.

Do you love the show, have a team you are pulling for? We would love to hear about it! Send us your feedback at polkadotpupblog@aol.com.

Pups and Their Celeb Look-a-Likes

Every think your pet reminds you of someone or have you ever heard the phrase "pets look like their owners"? The pet loving people at petside.com put together a compelling list of pups and their celeb look-a-likes. The really cool thing is the pup pics are all from fans of the site. So, if you think your pet is the dog version of Britney Spears you can send in a picture and have it added to their slide show.

What do you think?
Here at Polka Dot Pup, our puppy correspondent Vixen has been linked with a number of look-a-like celebs. Tell us who you think her celeb look-a-like is and we will post the best match!
