The Mutt Show!
February 22nd, 2010 . by LianaOK, I swear, after this post, I’m done talking about mutts v. purebreds. But I just thought this was too awesome/cute not to share.
You know The View? Where snarky ladies of all ages and background (maybe not ALL, but you gotta give ‘em props for an honorable attempt at inclusiveness, plus I mean, you can’t go wrong with Whoopi Goldberg, let’s be real) come together in the daytime to snark their hearts out all over your TV?
Well these lovely ladies have a soft spot for mutts, and I can totally relate. Last year (also, I believe, around the Westminster Dog show), they hosted the first annual Mutt Show. The Mutt Show is judged by David Fry of the WKC and is divided into two sections. In the first, selected viewers parade their beloved pooches; in the second, we see mutts that are up for adoption at the North Shore Animal League America. What a great way to get people interested and involved in adopting pets!
The videos I could find of this year’s Mutt Show were sort of low-quality (but check them out here). Here’s video of the 2009 Mutt Show’s Viewer segment, in which Starr Jones calls the Westminster Kennel Club bitchy. LOVE IT.
