Wow, what a great finale of Greatest American Dog. Boy, those judges sure were hard on the group. I think they were just trying to see if they could derail us to thinking who we thought might win. And I must say while they were doing it, it did make me question who would win.

I kind of thought J.D. would go before Travis or Laurie just because of his overall training approach towards Galaxy. I don’t think the judges took him as abusive but with too much force full body language. I could see it all over J.D.’s face when the judge spoke to him sternly that he was using everything he had to not go over and smack her one. But he was a smart man and held his self together long enough to get out of there. I did notice when they brought in all of the previous housemates, J.D. was still looking shocked from his banishing.

I would like to say that I would have much better enjoyed a challenge than a few question that would determine who would be eliminated. Maybe it was more focused on the owner of the possible Greatest American Dog that needed to also be up for par for the task.

That was a great course for the dogs to have to do to determine the winner. Before the last challenge I could see when the judge started talking to Laurie about Andrew’s separation anxiety that her chances of wining were going down. I don’t think it is really anything against Laurie and the judges weren’t judging her as a person just as Andrew as a possible Greatest American Dog.

Presley did really AWSOME and so did Travis the way he helped and guided him through the scary parts. Which I think really showed how much Travis has learned over the last several weeks. Andrew did well too but like one of the judges mentioned Laurie was too clingy and was using too much hands and was trying to reason with Andrew instead of just letting him try to do it on his own. I think in the end Andrew’s separation anxiety is what made Presley the winner.

I believe having Travis and Presley win will encourage others that are so called newlyweds (by Laurie) to pursue such a relationship with their dogs.
