‘What do you enjoy most about Thanksgiving?’
OBITUARIES
Thanksgiving dog spectacular
features Cannon Beach resident
William Walter Boone
Hamlet
Aug. 17, 1951 — Nov. 4, 2017
The Daily Astorian
CANNON BEACH —
NBC will present the 16th
anniversary edition of the
beloved holiday special “The
National Dog Show Pre-
sented by Purina” on Thanks-
giving Day from noon to 2
p.m. following the telecast of
NBC’s “Macy’s Thanksgiv-
ing Day Parade.”
The show features Can-
non Beach resident David
Frei as expert analyst. Frei is
an American Kennel Club-li-
censed judge, along with
John O’Hurley, co-host of
USA Network’s “Beverly
Hills Dog Show Presented by
Purina.”
NBC’s Mary Carillo
will report from the bench-
ing area and inside the show
ring, while Tara Lipinski and
Johnny Weir offer a behind-
the-scenes look at the show
as reporters and digital
contributors.
As the co-host of NBC’s
National Dog Show Pre-
sented by Purina since its
inception in 2002, Frei is
seen every Thanksgiving Day
by the largest TV audience
for any dog show — most
recently more than 25 million
viewers in 2016. It is the same
role that he perfected in 27
years as the longtime co-host
of USA Network’s Westmin-
ster Kennel Club Dog Show.
He has now added to his
duties with NBC/USA as
co-host of the Beverly Hills
Dog Show, which debuted on
Easter in 2017.
Being America’s “dog
guy” has brought him many
appearances on network tele-
vision, including “Today,”
“NBC Nightly News,” “Good
Morning America,” “Fox &
Friends,” “The View,” Mar-
tha Stewart,” and more.
The National Dog Show
Tara Lipinski, David Frei and Johnny Weir.
The dogs have taken him
to the White House for a
visit with the President, for a
ride on a float in the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade, to
ring the opening bell at the
New York Stock Exchange,
to throw out the first pitch
at two Major League Base-
ball games, to a role on
HBO’s “Sex And The City”
and even to an appearance as
a pastry judge on the Food
Network’s “Best In Show”
competition.
A
breeder-owner-han-
dler and judge in the world
of purebred dogs for more
than 40 years, he has enjoyed
much competitive success
with his Afghan hounds,
Brittanys and Cavalier King
Charles spaniel. His dog, Ch.
Stormhill’s Who’s Zoomin’
Who, was the top Afghan
Hound in the country in 1989
and retired as the top-win-
ning female in the history
of the breed. As a judge, he
has officiated at shows in
the U.S., Canada, Australia,
Denmark and China.
He has been honored for
his work with the therapy
program, Angel On A Leash
by the American Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel Club,
the ASPCA, the Pet Philan-
thropy Circle and a number
of other organizations.
NBC will present an
encore of the event on Sat-
urday, Nov. 25, from 8 to 10
p.m.
