2008-07-02 23:52:02 - The multi-talented TV icon and dog-trainer Victoria Stilwell (Animal Planet's It's the Dog or Me!) is guest-hosting this weekend's AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio broadcast of Animal Radio®.

Stilwell, a British born out-of-work actress, took up dog-walking - and walked herself right into the role of the very memorable trainer on the hit series ‘It's the Dog or Me!'. Until now, the show was entirely filmed in the UK. Animal Radio® is teaming up for the Los Angeles casting calls for a US version of the program.

'We're

filming 20 episodes of ‘It's the Dog or Me' for Animal Planet,' Stilwell tells Animal Radio® listeners. She says 'American dogs show more behavioral issues than those of the UK.'

Stilwell will be one of the judges for CBS's ‘America's Greatest Dog' - Thursday July 10th at 8pm EST/PST. She says she's the ‘Simon Cowell' of the judges.

Joining Victoria Stilwell on Animal Radio® is son of the late Anthony Quinn, a great actor in his own right (Platoon) Francesco Quinn. When he's not out being a ‘heart-throb' - he's an active animal advocate.

Hear this special Animal Radio® broadcast of on XM Satellite Radio ch. 158 (America's Talk) Saturday noon eastern and Sunday 9am eastern, or on any of the 90+ AM/FM radio affiliates, including KOST 103.5 Los Angeles. See more listening options at AnimalRadio.com
