America's Top Dog Model (R) 2015 Contest

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Jan. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- The canine-savvy creators of the nation’s favorite, 11^th annual dog-modeling calendar are seeking haute “dogs with jobs” to show off their “Helping Paws,” the socially conscious theme of the 2015 America's Top Dog Model ® Contest. To support four-legged candidates everywhere, the America's Top Dog Model ® Company has expanded to include a dog model agency and online store in concert with its 2015 search for the most beautiful working pooches in the U.S.A.

“Whether originally bred for working in the fields, hunting wild game, or even just comforting the queen of England, throughout history, dogs have played a significant role in human’s lives,” said  Jo Jo Harder, America's Top Dog Model ® CEO. “While in early times, people found animal-human relationships important to their very survival, today dogs are considered members of the family and they help people in a variety of ways that can extraordinarily enrich our lives.”

Embracing America's Top Dog Model ® Contest mission to “celebrate dogs that make a difference in people’s lives,” 2015 “Helping Paws” contestants can have actual employment or volunteer work as a service, therapy, rescue, police, military or reading dog—or they simply can be professionally photographed demonstrating a human job that “their people” imagine would be a good fit.

The contest is also famed for rewarding top dogs with “fabulous” prizes, which include Cover of America's Top Dog Model ® Calendar, a photo story in Pet Product News International, custom jewelry from Lola's for Pets, a $125 gift certificate from Kelly Owens Couture, designer ensemble from Fashion Tails Boutique, a tiara or crown from America's Top Dog Model ®, designer hat and sunnies from Roni Goldberg Designs, America's Top Dog Model ® signature accessories, and an autographed copy of How to Become a Top Dog Model.

Eleven finalists will be featured in America's Top Dog Model ® Calendar and website at www.AmericasTopDogModel.com along with the Top Dog Model winner. They will also receive a Celebipaws rhinestone tank.

“While writing Diva Dogs: A Style Guide to Living the Fabulous Life, I thought it would be fun to have a national contest to go along with the book,” said Harder, also author of How to Become a Top Dog Model. “Ten years later, America's Top Dog Model ® is a popular brand that includes an annual calendar, two books, a TV Show, an online store and model agency—proof that our fun ideas can end up inspiring millions, humans and canines alike.”

America's Top Dog Model ® Reality TV Show is currently being shopped. For information about the TV show, contest, model agency or online store, please contact Barbara Martinez at (561) 212-2441 or email AmericasTopDog@aol.com.
