THE REMAINING EIGHT TEAMS COMPETE IN A DOGGIE DANCE-OFF ON "GREATEST AMERICAN DOG," WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

"Dancing With The Dogs" - The remaining eight teams of dogs and owners display their talents on the dance floor, on GREATEST AMERICAN DOG, Wednesday, Aug. 6 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. 

 

In addition, the "Mud Doggin'" Dog Bone Competition gets down and dirty when the dogs have to prove their balance and coordination; one owner is reduced to tears after their dog shuts down during training for the Best-In-Show Competition; one competitor shows tremendous heart after making a crucial sacrifice to help out a troubled opponent and a front-running team faces severe scrutiny after playing it safe in the Best-In-Show Competition, "Doggie Dance Off."  The fifth team is expelled from the Canine Academy.
