More About Josh aka Columbus

"Columbus" arrived at the shelter so neglected that the prongs of a bark collar were embedded in his throat and he needed immediate medical attention. He is a Portuguese Podengo and an animal celebrity firm in Hollywood wanted him as a "double" for a dog that they already had. We flew him to Hollywood, they renamed him "Josh", they love him, and he lives in the lap of luxury! They recently contacted TAG to let us know that Josh will appear in an "early" episode of "Samantha Who" which premiers next Monday (10/13) at 9:30 PM on ABC. Unfortunately we aren't sure which episode, but he would be at a dog birthday party eating cake. If you can, you might want to watch a few episodes to see him. What a rags to riches story!! One of our happier endings. Similar to dogs appearing in photo.
