After finally kicking my addiction to "Groomer Has It", I was looking forward to spending summer evenings outside, until I heard about a new show starting this Thursday called "Greatest American Dog".  From the description on the CBS web site, it sounds like a cross between Big Brother and something like So You Think You Can Fetch:

"Twelve extraordinary teams of dogs and owners from across the nation from "pageant dogs" to those simply trained at home, will live together and compete against each other in challenges that put the owners' ability to train their dogs to the test. Each week, the judges will eliminate one dog and their owner. The last remaining team will walk away with a $250,000 cash prize and the title of GREATEST AMERICAN DOG."

It'll be interesting to see how these people train their dogs, what challenges they'll be given, and how the dogs get along living together in a strange house (that could be a challenge right there!) One thing I've noticed already is that the profile pictures seem to prove the theory that dogs and their owners tend to look alike.
