Even old dogs can learn new tricks on this TV show

The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Zak George is a big dog among dog trainers. And he could soon get even bigger, thanks to a TV series that Animal Planet plans to introduce in July.

Tentatively titled "Fetch Me a Beer," it will invite dog owners to propose a trick that George can help them teach their pooch. The show has begun casting calls in Boston and Miami.

George, a 30-year-old Atlantan with a multitalented border collie named Venus, has made numerous TV guest appearances and has a popular YouTube site.
