Kosher Canine

It's been quite a dog's life for Elvis.

In November, the Parson Russell terrier celebrated his $10,000 “bark” mitzvah with Dr. Ruth and dozens of other guests at a New York steakhouse.

Yesterday, CBS announced that Elvis and his owner, Temple-trained physician David Best, will be one of the 12 teams on the summer reality series, Greatest American Dog.

Best, raised in a close Jewish family, even wipes a tear from his eye as Elvis "reads" from the Torah in a YouTube video of bark mitzvah highlights (see www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh2qquQfy04).

And, look, there's Elvis riding in a red sports car with Best when you go to www.mdeany.com, the Web site for one of Best's businesses. Click "About Us," and the third bio is Elvis', under "Office Pet."
