(In case you do not know the film, it is a "mocumentary" on a group of obsessive dog-owners who show their dogs at national dog shows. And no, the character played by Ted Brunner, whoever it was, was not depicted as obsessive.) > >Could this be our list's Ted Brunner? Does the former head honcho of TLG work with show dogs in his spare time nowadays? > >Curious, .
