Last month, the producer of Air Bud announced they were looking for their new star, and today they announced who will be the next basketball-playing Golden Retrievers. That is plural because two Goldens were given the golden opportunity.
Over 5,000 dogs were submitted for the title role, and Charlie from Ohio and Summer from San Diego scored a slam dunk with producer Robert Vince.
In Air Bud Returns, 12-year-old Jacob has always dreamt of being a star basketball player. After the passing of his father, that dream felt even more impossible. But everything changes when he and his mom move into his dad’s childhood home in Fernfield. There, Jacob discovers an original VHS of the Air Bud movie in his father’s belongings and has a chance meeting of a neglected golden retriever he names Buddy. Together, they embark on a journey of healing, unite a team of misfits, and chase a championship. Through it all they learn to play from the heart, believe in each other, and always take the shot!
The Goldens are being trained for their on-camera debut and will hit the basketball court in Vancouver on October 1st.
Their movie, which is the 15th one in the franchise, is expected to be released late next year.
Yesterday was the Caught Stealing premiere in NYC, and Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Darren Aronofsky were not the stars of the black carpet. Instead, that title goes to Tonic the Cat, who plays Butler’s buddy Bud.
The Maine Coon came rolling in on a black car, wearing a leather jacket. Even a shirtless Butler and Bad Bunny’s nipples couldn’t compete.
As soon as Tonic rode in, all the photographers focused their cameras on him!
Poor Kravitz, first she had to share the spotlight with a bee, and now a cat. When will it be her turn?
If Tonic looks familiar to you, it is because you saw him in either Pet Sematary or Thanksgiving!
You can see the superstar in his third film starting on Friday.
Believe it or not, since 1997, there have been 14 Air Bud movies, and next year we are getting the 15th one. However, Air Bud Entertainment is having a hard time finding their star. So, producer Robert Vince is asking for your help.
Do you have an athletic (preferably one who can play basketball) pure-bred Golden Retriever that you think would be purrfect for the part? Then you can submit your best friend to Air Bud Search. Even if your Golden doesn’t win the part, there are other things they can win, like official Air Bud jerseys and signed movie merchandise, or a trip to the Hollywood premiere.

Good luck! I hope your puppy becomes the next Air Bud.

On July 11th, Superman is flying into movie theaters. However, we are not really talking about the Man of Steel. Instead, we are talking about Krypto, his dog!
Milk-Bone saw an opportunity to give the Superdog his own treat. So starting this month, your best friend can be special too by enjoying the limited edition bones that will give them superpowers.
Maybe not superpowers, but they will feel like a superhero with each bite!
“For over a century, Milk-Bone® has been trusted to help pet parents make everyday moments with their dogs feel extraordinary,” said Gail Hollander, CMO at J.M. Smucker. “Now, with the SUPERMAN partnership, Milk-Bone® is honoring the strength, loyalty and love that our four-legged companions show us every day.”
Along with the super box, you can download the free online comic book, Superman: A Friendship Unleashed, which tells the story of Superman and Krypto!
At the rate that superhero movies are going to the dogs, soon we are going to have to have comic conventions dedicated to DogPool and Krypto! And I am okay with that, if they also include Church from Pet Sematary.
Yesterday was a big day for LA Dodger’s Shohei Ohtani, and what a day it was.
We are on the tail end of the dog days of summer. But it wasn’t too late for Ohtani to celebrate his best friend, Decoy.
The pitcher and his dog were honored with a bobblehead at the game, and the fans lined up early to get one.
Then, when they got inside, they witnessed a Major League first. Ohanti’s dog, wearing a baseball jersey with his dad’s number 17 on it, threw the first pitch! Creating an arfdorable moment that delighted everyone in the crowd,
The night was only getting started. As it went on, Ohtani scored his 42nd homerun and his 41st and 42nd stolen bases for the year. That is why he is the $70 million man.
They say three times is a charm, and the baseball played had a charming night,
