Coming to CBS: The Greatest American Dog

Yet another dog "reality" show is in the works -- this one tentatively titled Greatest American Dog -- in which 12 owners and their dogs will live together and compete in games that test their ability to train their dogs.

Part of the new CBS summer line-up, the show will offer a top prize of $250,000 and will be hosted by Jarod Miller, the co-host of PetFinder on Animal Planet and former executive director of the Binghamton Zoo in New York. It premieres July 10.

You can find the CBS press release here.

Animal Planet's Groomer Has It, in which dog groomers compete and live together, premiered earlier this year.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
