I was flipping through the channels last night and as I landed on The CW, I saw a picture of a guy sitting in the audience of an award show and he had a dog who looked exactly like Seven sitting next to him. And the guy looked exactly like @Tom !!

Was that Seven in Dumb and Dumber To?

Guilty as charged. Man. People really do watch that stuff...

I took my wife and daughter and we had a great time. Free food! I was pretty sure we wouldn't win any awards for that little 5 second bit in the movie, but it was fun anyway. "Champion" from "Parks and Rec" is another of my dogs, so it was cool to see her also.

Congrats to all the winners.

Haha, I watched it too. Pm'd Tom last night to confirm that it was him next to Seven. At first they only showed the dog, not the humans sitting with him. Then they finally showed Tom and his daughter. It was a pretty good program. Would have been better had Toms dogs won:)

So cool! I always think the dogs I see in commercials are Tom's. I tell my kids "my friend" Tom is the trainer!
I love the VW commercial when the bulldog ate the keys. That was yours, right?
Any others that are on now?

We recored it, but I haven't watched it yet. They are saying they will do it again next year. I vote for less Paris Hilton and more current movies and commercials.

A lot less Paris Hilton and more movies, commercials, and rescue stories.

Oh Tom, as I was searching for info about that show, I came across a site showing the guest and their dogs on the "green carpet". Your daughter and Seven was in one. I was going to post the link for you but now I can't find it. I'm sure if you did a search, it will pop up.

I don't think that one was us, but I have trainers going in all different directions all the time.

@Tom How about the Subaru commercial where the poodle walks across the street? That one is hilarious!

I just did one like that, but it was for "Mophie" not Subaru. Might be the same dog though.

A bunch of mine will be on the SuperBowl this year. At least 3 and probably a lot more that they didn't tell me were Superbowl spots.

Oh! That's so fun! I'm so sorry I missed it! I would have loved to have seen your family:) Also, I love love LOVE Champion. Parks and Rec just got even better knowing your dog is on it from time to time:D

Watch the video on this link. About halfway through, when they interview Paris Hilton, Tom, Seven and his daughter are behind her on the right side.

I'm not sure if it's just my computer, but I can't see the link.

LOL! No, it's invisible. Let me see if I can use my magic and bring it forth:

https://dishnation.com/011515-dog-awards/

This isn't the same video. I couldn't find the other one again. But before you click to start the video, that's Seven and Tom's little girl's elbow behind What's 'er name and on the right of the screen. Then watch the video, and they show up again about 3/4's through the film.

Gad that's an ugly hairless dog with the teeth and the buggy eyes. Poor thing. It looks like his eyes hurt.

Tom, I was just wondering a little about your job...Are these dogs owned by other people and you are employed by studios etc to train the dogs? Do you actually own any of the dogs that you have trained for movies?

That ugly dog was voted the ugliest dog, but the poor thing got burned when it was a pup.

Now i have to watch the super bowl much more closely then I have before. Tom, is Seven the only dog you own that is on tv? I know you train many more and it seems like I,have read about another one you owned, but besides Bullett and Seven, I can't remember who the other one would be.
