Hi Humans,

After several weeks of great suspense, nerve wracking and endless curiosity, we are happy to announce the three winners of DOGTV’s “Star in The Making” competition.

A quick reminder: hundreds of dogs arrived with their parents to the auditions that took place in San Diego earlier this year. We’ve uploaded the videos to our YouTube and Facebook pages, and then the voting began. Participants sent the videos to one another and did everything they could do to distribute them and get “likes.” It was quite fabulous to see adults trying hard to be “liked,” as if they were in school (I guess in the social-network-sphere we are all just kids looking to be liked …).

Personally, I love all of the dogs, but then again, isn’t that the politically correct thing to say? Still, I love so many of the dogs that it was hard to imagine only three winning and becoming the next DOGTV stars. But you voted, we counted, and I’m thrilled to announce the top dogs:

1. Remi

What a puppy! In the words of his parent: “MY LITTLE REMI! Isn’t he the cutest pup ever?” <video>

2. Matilda

Matilda is truly adorable. Just like Remi, she is two years old, which could mean a match made in dog heaven! <video>

3. Chopper

Some say Chopper the biker dog is a legend already, a true star. Perhaps … we’ll just have to wait and see his acting quality on DOGTV…. <video>

Mazal Tov to all winners! I’m looking forward to meeting and working with you on the DOGTV set during the first week of August! Until then – eat well, rest well, enjoy the summer – and sign up some acting lessons ☺

I would like to also take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in DOGTV’s “Star in The Making” contest. You and your dogs are truly amazing, and we hope to see all of you soon on DOGTV!

Have a great week,

Ron
