I've never seen anyone mention this show, but I love it! And tonight, to my delight, there was a new (at least to me) episode tonight. The people from Best Friends (the show concentrates on DogTown) are just amazing.

I love it also. I watched it the first season, then it didn't come back on for a long time! They took some of the Vick's Pitbull's in one old episode. last night it was great to see a new episode. I have my DVR set to record the new ones.

I've seen a couple eps. I like it. I'm more of a DW fan. If it wasn't for Cesar, we'd still be running down the street trying to catch our beagle every time the front door opened. Now when we open the front door for something, she sits about 10 feet back and just watches unless we tell her to come along. I love Cesar

That is such a valuable thing to teach a dog.. lifesaving for some. I remember a friend who had collies and labs back when I was in labs and all of her dogs had obedience degrees.. that was her thing, but she'd open her front door and a barrage of a collie or two and a lab or two would dash out and I'd always tell her.. my dogs mostly didn't have degrees, but if I told them to STAY they did just that. Naja, I can just see the beagle, ears flapping... their noses just lead them on and on. The latest ep of DogTown had them bringing in more dogs from another puppy mill.. they had some successes.. shih tzu who was a total mess and at risk for eyes popping out, but they cleaned it up and found a wonderful home (tip if a dog has the bulging eyes.. don't hug around the neck, or usa a collar but use a harness.) And a chihuahua mix who had been caged and never learned potty training, but the work with her gained her a great home too. And a really really sad case of a lab mix who was just so sweet, but was breathing heavily and had a tumor that was SO hard to remove, it took hours.. they sent in the lobe of the lung and the tumor and so sad.. it was a very aggressive cancer. And it wasn't long (the woman who fostered that dog just kept him for the duration) before they had to euthanize but they showed (again) their cemetary, Angel's Rest, which is where they bury the animals. Each has a stone and a stake where they leave the color and name tag and people leave little items and stones. Last season the guy who runs that area told us how when they bury an animal the winds blow and they have a bunch of windchimes there and they all ring.. and it makes me cry, but it is nice that those who end up there at least had some love from the great people at Best Friends (Dog Town being the canine section of BF, in Kanab, Utah). Anyway, I really respect these people.. they take on the really tough cases.

I also like Dog Town. It's a pleasure watching it and worthwhile entertainment. My sister has a dog and so she's really into the program. I hope for many more seasons of Dog Town because it is one of the better series on TV.

I agree with Spencer1 Right now I have a very sick dog and after $700 in vet bills and the last blood work not back yet, my grand daughter actually said** Grand Mom maybe you can call Dog Town to help! ** I Know that isn't an option, but I still love this show.. So worth watching :-)

I saw a rerun of the Vick dogs story and it just made my blood boil. He should have his teeth pulled out and be used as a "bait quarterback" for the meanest toughest defensive players in the NFL so he could have a small taste of the hell he put those poor animals through. At the very least, he should donate a huge % of his future income to Dog Town and other rescue organizations.
