"My Dog Can Fly" - The dogs confront an elephant and are given the chance to fly, on GREATEST AMERICAN DOG, Wednesday, Aug. 27 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. 

The dogs are joined by an unexpected 9,000 pound elephant, Susy, for the Dog Bone Competition.  For the Best In Show Competition, the pups get help from Hollywood stunt trainers to get in shape for "Stunt Dog" where they are given the chance to soar!  The eighth team is expelled from the Canine Academy.
