Los Angeles,CA(Hollywood Today)2/14/12/—Corral a bunch of A-list actors backstage before a major award show and you’d be asking for trouble- unless the actors have four legs and fur and were nominees for this year’s inaugural Golden Collar Awards- AKA “The Canine Oscars”.
The fido thespians quietly gathered in a suite behind the scenes at the sedately elegant Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel with their respective trainers and owner/family members-sans entourage and quaker- like in their decorum.
No egos, no tantrums and no demands. Phoebe Rose, celebrity pug and Hollywood Today’s Official Roving Rover Reporter, mingled and posed with the low-key star pooches and even picked up a few acting tips.The event was 85 years in the making (since the human Oscars date back that far) according to the evening’s enthusiastic host, Leo Quinones of The Hollywood Reporter.
Making up for lost time, the Golden Collar was a howling success-with live streaming on The Hollywood Reporter, major international media coverage and celebrity canine-loving presenters including Pauley Perrette (NCIS), Wendy Malick (Hot in Cincinnati) and Kristine Bauer (True Blood).

Real Housewife, Lisa Vanderpump spoke about helping her Pomeranian, Giggy overcome many health problems including alopecia and Trainer to the Stars, Steve Solomon of Good Dog Animals, related the rags to riches story of Lambchop (star of Suburbatory) found on the street and rescued from a Van Nuys shelter just a year ago. Solomon said, " Lambchop is a Chihuahua/poodle mix and has the brains of a poodle and the attitude of Chihuahua-she's a real Diva."
No, that isn't Blackie (Star of Hugo)-that's his understudy, Cash-handsome in his tux (and it wasn't rented).

Kristine Bauer and Rose (True Blood)
Noticeably absent from the glittering assembly was Doberman, Blackie (star of Hugo), allegedly on his way to Japan -and sending his representative Cash to stand in for him. The media buzz about Blackie has been that his "acting" chops were enhanced digitally-emphatically denied by Director Martin Scorcese and whispered to be a smear campaign by the competition (Nominee Uggie of the Artist's, Harvey Weinstein) initially blacklisting his scene stealing pawformance from being nominated.

Coarser than a dozen fatal and almost 800,000 require medical attention. If a dog bites you or your child has been injured, it may be concerned that giving in exchange for help with medical expenses and unpaid bills.
