Who Has The Greatest American Dog?
Tonight (Thursday, July 10) at 8 p.m. ET/PT, CBS unveils its new canine reality series: “Greatest American Dog”, in which 12 teams of dogs and owners from across the nation, ranging 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”. Distinguished canine critics Wendy Diamond, Allan Reznik and Victoria Stilwell are the judges, and Jarod Miller is the host.

Two years ago today, my husband and I rescued Greta, and our lives have never been the same since. Sure, it was hard in the beginning–after all, she was a puppy with no experiences outside of living in a wire crate 23 hours a day.
