National Geographic have asked us if they can follow the progress of some of the Vicktory dogs in one or more episodes of Dogtown to be aired later this year.
The first three episodes of their new series about life at Best Friends Dogtown aired in January, and will re-air in March. Then, this summer, will come five new episodes, including at least one about the Vicktory dogs.
Darcy Dennett, the series producer was here earlier this week, filming the TV news crews who were filming the dogs for their evening news broadcasts. (I'm not sure she really knew I was going to post this! J )
On the left is Jeff Popowich, and on the right John Garcia – two of our ace dog experts, and in the middle Elissa Jones and Darcy. Elissa (left) runs the Best Friends Guardian Angel program for animals with special needs (she also happens to be married to Dr. Mike Dix, the Best Friends medical director), and has been coordinating the whole Dogtown series with Nat Geo and Darcy, who's now pretty much part of the family, so to speak, here at the sanctuary.
P.S. Note John's dress code for the day: A Best Friends T-shirt, with a Nat Geo jacket to help promote the dogs on the TV series!
