It’s been a whirlwind the last few months… Truly living a dog’s life!
Mom and I have been on the road, traveling around the country meeting incredible dogs (and their humans!) in a new web series, “The Adventures of Laura & Preston“… Thanks to our friends at Natura!
PRESTON’S PLANET L!VE… it’s his world, we just live in it…
hosted by Laura Nativo & Preston Casanova debuting November 17th, 2008 on theStream.tv!
Monday Nights @ 6pm PST
Preston’s Planet L!VE is the world’s first interactive online television show for dog lovers, hosted by Greatest American Dog co-stars Laura Nativo and her celebu-dog pomeranian, Preston Casanova.
Joined by former cast-mate, and his celebu-pooch, “The Greatest American Michael” - Michael Piper-Younie and Esmerelda ‘Ezzie’ co-host this adventure to better the relationship between dogs and their humans.
As we embark on our mission, Preston’s Planet L!VE will strive to better our world by making it easier for people to offer animals a happier, healthier, and more involved lifestyle. Streaming live from Los Angeles, the dog industry’s trend-setting mecca, PPL will connect animal lovers around the globe in a fun, virtual community unlike never before. Lick. Love. Live.
It’s not surprising, after 10 million viewers tuned into Laura & Preston, week after week, in their prime time television debut- Laura Nativo’s life has officially gone to the dogs.
The breakout starlette from CBS’ hit reality show, GREATEST AMERICAN DOG, may not have taken home the grand prize… but America fell in love with Laura, and her little pom too. Now, Laura & Preston, deemed “America’s Favorite Ma & Paw” by ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, are fast becoming one of Hollywood’s hottest “power” couples in the realm of entertainment and philanthropy.
Check out some pics from my polling place in Brentwood. Mom and I are headed to Malibu for a pre-celebration hike… Then we’ll hit up the “official” LA soirée @ the Hyatt Regency in Century City.
om and I had a blast on the east coast… We hung out with our co-star friends, David and Elvis at PUPTOBERFEST in NJ, signing “pawtographs” at a festival benefiting The Eleventh Hour Rescue. Then we adventured all over New York City in the first ever DOGGIE AMAZING RACE, to help raise money for the Brooklyn Animal Rescue Coalition! I made so many new friends, and had the best time bonding with momma for two amazing organizations. To everyone who joined us, THANK YOU!
I don’t walk on a leash. (I can, just prefer not to.) I often eat at the dinner table. (Food tastes better that way.) I surf. (Not that I enjoy it, but mom loves the ocean and I’ll do anything for her!) I skateboard. (Not as well as Tillman, but the b!tches dig it.) I play the piano. (Terribly!) I paint, amazingly well. (Just ask my friend, Wendy Diamond ;) I cherish being naked. And wearing ties. I don’t “yap” and can’t understand why humans are fascinated by that. I DO cry. Often. And speak. And growl. And sneeze, on command.
The only time you’ll find me in a purse, is when I’m sneaking into a restaurant that doesn’t offer outdoor seating. (Mom wouldn’t dare leave me in the car.) I proudly sneak onto planes, because mom and I can’t justify paying $75 for the “privilege” of being shoved under a seat, while a baby cries the entire flight in their human’s comfty lap, for free, across the row.
I will continue to fight the system, until the airline industry wakes up. If anyone reading this knows Richard Branson… please, have his people call my people. If one airline industry CEO only realized… with the amount of dog lovers in the world, they could save their failing companies, if perhaps they offered alternative ways for animals to fly comfortably and safely. I shouldn’t admit all of the above, since I’m “famous” now… but so what?! I consider myself a well-balanced man, and the most powerful humans in history challenge the status quo.
I love the looks on people’s faces when they see my dog Andrew sitting on my lap during an airplane trip. It’s so much fun to watch the double takes and stares we get when he struts down the concourse on our way to the boarding gate.
And there’s nothing like the surprise we get when the hotel elevator door opens and the person inside sees Andrew is the guest patiently waiting to get on!
The truth is, even before his celebrity status, Andrew accompanied my husband and me on many trips, and not only him, but our Dalmatian Tucker and some of my other dogs as well. Like many who show dogs, taking our dogs with us on trips and finding pet friendly accommodations has been par for the course.
We’ve frequently seized the opportunity to take at least one or more of our dogs with us on vacations as well. Why not? They’re part of our family. Why shouldn’t they enjoy time away from home too?
At one point we’d calculated that Tucker had been to 20 of the 50 states. That’s pretty impressive for a dog.
All in all, for me a trip just seems more fun when you have a dog with you.
Humans say I’m crazy.
