The Greatest American Dog is Presley the Boxer Puppy

Andrew and Laurie Finish Second
in a Toss Up
CBS 8/7c 9/10/08


Travis and Presley won The Greatest American Dog competition tonight. Presley, a 16-month-old Boxer puppy, showed character and personality throughout the dog competition. It doesn't hurt that Travis, the owner, is a cutie himself! The winners of The Greatest American Dog receive a check for $250,000 for their efforts.

Andrew, the Maltese, gave it everything he had. Even taking on Suzy the Elephant again. Andrew ran right under the elephant's foot to retrieve his toy as part of a Challenge. He acted like he didn't even see the elephant!

The night started with a bit of a surprise when J.D. and Galaxy were expelled from Canine Academy first, finishing 3rd overall. J.D. has had run-ins with Laurie and the judges about training styles. J.D. trained Galaxy to be an excellent hunting dog. It is a different style because it is used by hunters. This is strictly my opinion, by the way. A hunter is completely dominant, it is a matter of life and death for his dog. J.D. obviously learned to train this way, which is fine, but does not look as good to observers.

Victoria Stilwell, one of the judges, jumped all over J.D. for his dominant style of training. I hope she got paid extra for being a bitch. It really wasn't necessary.

Travis and Presley will represent America well as the winners of The Greatest American Dog!
