Normally, I wouldn't post on this, but hey, he's maligning our beautiful GSDs (tongue in cheek, but STILL! LOL) Storm http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2011/11/20/turkey-day-dogs/1GHaqtRcSnUMlU2JVlZFpN/story.html http://tinyurl.com/86jryr8 On Turkey Day, go to the dogs By Kevin Paul Dupont Globe Staff Mishka, the talking Husky whose YouTube videos have attracted more than 100 million views, croons "I love you" during the filming of a TV ad for Purina. The ad will debut on Thanksgiving during The National Dog Show on NBC. Dog shows, I suppose, aren’t true sporting events, even though there are winners and losers and the competition looks ferocious, especially so when the TV camera zooms in on that total psycho stare of a German shepherd. Gives me the creeps. Maybe I misunderstand the breed, but I know the German shepherd is the dog of choice when cops want to control crowds, catch robbers, and chase down drug dealers. So just how much am I misunderstanding about these sweet, adorable pets? This is the 10th year that the National Dog Show, held just outside Philadelphia, will take a two-hour chomp out of NBC’s Thanksgiving Day entertainment block. For all the TV sports viewing I do, which is far beyond AMA safe practices, I actually look forward to what NBC and Purina serve up from noon-2 p.m. every Turkey Day.
