Greatest American Dog update: Farewell to Bill and Star
On the last Greatest American Dog episode, Bill and Star were eliminated from the show, by the judge panel. It was not easy for anyone. Bill and Star were favorites to almostĀ everyone. It not only brought a couple of tears to the judges, it was tough for Travis to say goodbye to his new found friend.
Bill and Travis had become very close in these pastĀ weeks on Greatest American Dog. Both of these competitors were straight shooters and played an honest game. Travis is going to miss Bill a lot, now that he is out of the Greatest American Dog house.
Clip of Bill and Star at elimination.
Bill, a self-employed pressure washer, lives on his 18 acre farm in Flint, Texas with his wife Sherrie and Star. Married for more than 37 years, Bill and Sherrie have three grown kids and two other dogs Lucille and Maggie.
Star is a seven year old, purebred Brittany. Star’s favorite snack is bacon. Star performs her famous tricks with Bill at many local events and for a variety of community groups in the Flint, TX area.
Episode eight, of Greatest American Dog had the remaining dogs in a stunt competition that Star could not complete. This really gave the judges no option, except to vote Bill and Star off of Greatest American Dog.
