He's a Farter, Not a Fighter" - A pint-sized pup with a Napoleon complex bullies a bigger canine competitor on GREATEST AMERICAN DOG Thursday, July 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. 

 

In addition, this week's episode tests the dogs' level of obedience.  At the military-themed Dog Bone competition, one canine front-runner is thrown off track when its owner makes a dumb mistake.  Bill's adventurous dog, Star, gets rushed to the doggy hospital after injuring herself in the yard.  During the Best In Show competition, one dog's poor table manners leaves the judges with a bad taste in their mouths.  The second team is expelled from the Canine Academy.
