Brandon McMillan, the ever-optimistic canine coach of Lucky Dog, is set to revisit two former shelter residents who’ve traded in kennels for catwalks in this week’s episode, “Photogenic Dogs.” Having previously guided these pups through training for the glamorous world of fashion modeling, McMillan returns to see how they’re handling their newfound careers (and, let’s be honest, probably to bask in the glow of his own success). It’s a format as reliable as a golden retriever fetching a slobbery tennis ball.
So, expect the usual heartwarming narrative arc: two dogs, once overlooked and underestimated, now striking a pose. We’ll likely see some behind-the-scenes glimpses of their training and maybe even some awkward outtakes from their photo shoots.
It’s the Lucky Dog formula, comfort food for the soul, albeit sometimes a bit saccharine. But who are we kidding? We’re all suckers for a good dog story. Let’s just hope the episode doesn’t rely too heavily on slow-motion shots of windblown fur and soulful canine gazes.
Lucky Dog: Photogenic Dogs airs Saturday, November 9th at 9:00 AM on CBS.
