Three Mighty Dogs Win Nationwide Casting

ST. LOUIS, July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Lights, camera ... action! Hundreds of mighty dogs from across the country auditioned for the chance to star in a 3-5 minute dogumentary called "Mighty Dog Nation: The Movie." While it was a nose-to-nose competition, three spirited dogs pulled off a mighty feat by being chosen as the Grand Prize winners of the national video contest.

Jesse, a Jack Russell Terrier, from Litchfield Park, Arizona; Jasmine, a Havanese from Gilbert, Arizona; and Mater, a mixed breed from Carmel, Indiana bested the competition by showcasing their star potential and attitudes that are bigger than their size. They will star in a dogumentary about the founding of Mighty Dog Nation, a first-of-its-kind nation that celebrates mighty dogs - the "everydog" whose spirited personality speaks louder than his bark.


Maria Menounos, TV personality, dog lover and Human Ambassador to the Mighty Dog Nation, picked the winners from 10 finalists with the help of dog lovers across the country who also voted online for their favorites.


"It was hard to pick just three winners because every dog is mighty in his or her own unique way," said Menounos. "Jesse, Jasmine and Mater truly have star potential and spirited personalities that will shine on screen."

In their video "auditions," Jesse used ingenuity and creativity to defend his turf from an intruder; Jasmine performed remarkable mighty feats; and Mater had a doggone good time at the playground.
