‘Pit Boss’ Returns to Animal Planet This Saturday
Whenever I attend cross-company events, like our Upfront, TCA, etc., I’m always amazed (and proud) of the range of talent across our networks. From gold miners to fashion gurus, it’s always great to see worlds colliding; however, I have to admit that one of my favorite talent to see has four legs, a blingy collar and calls Animal Planet his home. I’m of course referring to Hercules, companion to Pit…

Animal Planet’s ‘Dog Park’ Wins People’s Voice Webby Award
As an aspiring dog owner at a company filled with many pet parents, I often ask my “I’d-love-to-get-a-dog-but-what-about-this?” questions to my pup owning co-workers. Growing up in Upstate New York (think farms, not fashion) I have had no previous experience at the dog park, but I had many questions about them (How do the people all know each other? When do you know if the dogs are play fighting vs.…
