Well, this week CBS featured two champion dogs on their cop shows.
CSI had the more dog-centric plot as it featured a French speaking German Shepherd who lost his cop partner and then helped catch the killer. According to the blogosphere, Sam the canine cop was actually played by a few different German Shepherds. At the end of the show he is adopted by CSI Stokes who has achieved, almost instantly (and unbelievably) a close personal bond with the dog who did all the Lassie and RinTinTin anthropomorphic behaviors we've come to expect over 100 years of dogs on film.

We preferred the beautiful poodle(s?) on
NCIS: Los Angeles. Unlike Sam in Las Vegas, the poodle Chaucer was not himself an officer of the law but was instead a decoy used to track down in a soviet era sleeper spy and the Cold War era nuclear device in his garage. The two-episode plot will continue next week but, sadly, probably without Chaucer.
Best part of the show was the agility competition which pitted Chaucer against a beautiful black poodle named Uma. Actor Eric Christian Olsen is seen at times running with the poodle actor.
