On Thursday, Jan. 14th, the CW network will air the 2nd World Dog Awards. An award show honoring the most commendable pups, from the ones who have achieved fame in the world of entertainment or on social media, to everyday dogs who have had an indelible impact on the lives of their human companions.
World DOG Awards airs on the CW Network, Thursday, January 14th at 8:00- 10:00 pm ET
For the 2nd year, actor and comedian George Lopez will be hosting the show. The show includes a list of celebrities and dog stars. Last Saturday, January 9th the taping of CW Network World Dog Awards was held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, CA. I’m honored to be the only dog blogger invited to the “green carpet”. Of course, I brought Flat SUGAR.
Here are the dog stars I met at the green carpet … with Flat SUGAR
Honorary Award: Subaru Pet Hall of Fame – Golden Retriever JJ
JJ is a certified therapy dog through Project Canine and works with Hope Animal-Assisted Crisis Response, providing comfort and encouragement to those affected by crises and disaster.
Dog of the Year nominees Justin & Gabe
Gabe was from Warrior Canine Connection, which provides support dogs to wounded warriors. Justin Lansford, a paratrooper in the 82nd airborne division, lost his leg in 2012 in an IED explosion in eastern Afghanistan. As part of Justin’s recovery, he was paired with Gabe. Gabe’s favorite treat is banana, like Sugar 🙂
