Nov. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- Last week’s premiere of the DIY Network original documentary-style series, Salvage Dawgs, opened to rave reviews and strong audiences nationwide.  Long time do-it-yourself fans and newcomers alike joined in praising the show that chronicles the adventures and creativity of the Black Dog Salvage Inc. team – a Virginia-based architectural salvage business.

“It was a show I can actually watch and enjoy with my husband,” said Janet Stark of Novato, CA.  “He already has it set up as a series recording on our DVR.  I can’t wait.”

The Thursday night series opener introduced viewers to Black Dog owners Robert Kulp and Mike Whiteside who’s polar opposite personalities make for a show filled with humor and suspense.  While they both share a passion for historical preservation, Robert is the self-proclaimed “bottom line guy” who focuses on the value in regards to re-sale.  Mike is the “go big, go fast, go hard” guy who finds amusement in the unusual and engineers creative (sometimes hair-brained) solutions for getting materials out of the structures unharmed.

“Whether it’s a fishing buddy or business partner, everyone can relate to the friendship between these two guys,” said Jason Pakkala of Tucson, AZ.  “Salvage Dawgs does a great job of keeping the viewer engaged – and laughing out loud.”

Co-produced by Trailblazer Studios and Figure 8 Films, Salvage Dawgs episode 2 is set to air tomorrow night and follows the one-day “pick” of Washington Mills -- a 1.3 million square foot textile mill in Mayodan, NC. Beloved by the surrounding community, the former cotton mill was built in the late 1800’s and is credited as the cornerstone of the town’s history.

DIY Network will air the second episode of Salvage Dawgs on Thursday, Nov. 15 at 11pm EST, Friday, Nov. 16 at 9pm EST and again Saturday, Nov. 17 at 8am, EST. Check your local cable or satellite provider for times and channels.
