New York, NY - Underscoring America's love affair with dogs and  
celebrating

its 125th Anniversary of the American Kennel Club (AKC) on September 17,

2009, the organization has collaborated with AOL's PawNation.com to  
compile

a list of the Top 125 Dogs in Popular Culture. The list brings together

canines from diverse backgrounds for a candid look at how dogs have been

woven into the fabric of America. Consumers can go to the site and  
vote for

the top dog.



Starting September 15, PawNation.com will host a series of polls that  
will

allow America to vote for their favorite dogs in more than eleven pop

culture categories. From movies and music, mascots and literature, to

cartoons and TV characters, each week a new poll will allow Americans to

review the list, debate it with their friends and colleagues, and pick  
their

favorites.



The first poll will be Cartoon Canines. Visit

http://www.pawnation.com/category/akc-top-125-dogs to vote for your  
favorite

animated dogs. The AKC will tabulate results and unveil the final list  
of

America's Top 125 Dogs in Pop Culture on November 17, 2009.



"There is no question that America loves dogs," said AKC Spokesperson  
Lisa

Peterson. "One look at popular culture proves, beyond a shadow of a  
doubt,

that dogs have always had a profound influence on our daily lives. The

collaboration between the AKC and Pawnation.com, in celebration of the  
AKC's

125 anniversary, will allow the nation to choose the dogs that have  
made the

biggest impact on pop culture and how dogs are viewed in our society."



Movies like Lassie and Marl ey & Me have traditionally scored large  
audiences

and stories like Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows are considered

timeless classics. Many grew up with Snoopy and Pluto, Elvis  
immortalized

the "Hound Dog," and what would the University of Georgia be without its

Bulldog "Uga" or RCA without "Nipper". But which dog is the most  
famous of

them all? Dog lovers can return each week to vote and have a final say  
to

end the doggie debate and find who it the top dog.
