Award-winning veteran studio and sports broadcaster Curt Menefee (&#8220;<em>FOX NFL Sunday<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>The OT<\/em>&#8220;) and actor and comedian David Koechner (&#8220;<em>Anchorman<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>The Office<\/em>&#8220;) serve as hosts and break down the action, while sideline reporter Rachel Bonnetta (FOX Sports, &#8220;FOX Bet Live&#8221;) catches up with the teams down on the course.<\/p>\n<p>Season two introduces a new format with head-to-head match-ups, pitting a pup against another competitor in their class across working dogs, police K9s, and &#8220;underdogs,&#8221; for an epic battle to prove who is best. The winners of each of the three classes face-off head-to-head to determine who is that week&#8217;s Top Dog. Each week, the winning team will receive a $10,000 cash prize as well as an additional $5,000 to donate to the animal charity of their choice. In the final week of competition, the winning teams return for the ultimate face off for the title of &#8220;America&#8217;s Top Dog&#8221; and an additional $25,000. The competition continues across season three with even more breeds, high-stakes and new rules.<\/p>\n<p>Also hosted by Curt Menefee, &#8220;<em>An Animal Saved My Life<\/em>&#8221; showcases amazing acts of heroism from different kinds of animal heroes. Featuring stories ripped from the headlines, viral videos, surveillance footage, and interviews with people who have been saved by animal heroes, the series highlights scares and saves that range from heartwarming to adrenaline pumping. Pet owners overwhelmingly think of their cats and dogs as family members who provide emotional support and love, but sometimes animals risk it all to save a human life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>America&#8217;s Top Dog<\/em>&#8221; is produced by Big Fish Entertainment, an MGM company, for A&amp;E Network.
