Film star Ewan McGregor and actress and animal rights campaigner Betty White will join Whoopi Goldberg and other all-star panelists to judge a new heroic dog award show which will air on the Hallmark Channel.
The American Humane Association is bringing the celebrities on board for its inaugural “Hero Dog Awards,” a TV contest which will recognize “the thousands of specially trained dogs giving comfort to people every day.”
The winning dogs will also get to attend their own red carpet awards gala in Beverly Hills.
Canine movie star Rin Tin Tin, a dog rescued from the frontlines of World War I in France who later became an American icon and movie idol, will be given a special legacy award, presented to one of his doggie descendants.
Dogs will compete in eight categories: law enforcement and arson dogs; service dogs; therapy dogs; military dogs; guide dogs; search and rescue dogs; hearing dogs, and emerging hero dogs, for “ordinary pets who do extraordinary things.”
White, 89, of “The Golden Girls” TV fame, also works for several animal organizations, including the Los Angeles Zoo.
Other celebrity judges will include personal trainer Jillian Michaels and “Glee” cast member and dog lover Kristin Chenoweth.
The 90-minute show will be broadcast on the Hallmark Channel on November 11.
I just paid $ 23.87 for an iPod 2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Pana$onic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $ 38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $ 657 which only cost me $ 62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, http://to.ly/aS0R
What’s that got to do with the awards for dogs ?
