As many of you know, DOGTV held an open casting call Sunday, July 29 in downtown San Diego’s dog-friendly Mission Brewery. Hundreds of hopeful DGOTV stars and their owners all came out for a day food, drink, photos and a little friendly competition.

Casting call attendees were welcomed to enjoy food from Mangia Mangia and It’s a Dog’s World food trucks and beer from Mission Brewery. Along with the yummy food and drinks, Lotus 9 Designs, City Dog and Fido & Co. were also supporting the casting call. The Escondido and San Diego Humane Society were present at the event. While there was no cost to participate, attendees were encouraged to make a donation to benefit these organizations.

Even local CBS 8 Reporter Alicia Coates joined the casting call fun and covered the event for the evening news program – look at all those cute pooches.

After the fur and dust settled, three pups were selected as winners. Filming for the newDOGTV segments was held on Thursday, Aug. 2 and below are a couple of the behind-the-scenes shots.

As you can see, DOGTV’s production staff doesn’t mind getting down and dirty to get the best angles and shots. The day of filming was a success and DOGTV fans should expect the new programming to air soon.
