Movie Monday: Could your pet be the next movie star?

Everyone thinks their own pet is the cutest and smartest little ball of fur on the planet- me included! But do they have what it takes to be the next Air Bud?

Remember the first movie from 1997 where the golden retriever escapes his mean master at the circus and joins a basketball team? Well, Air Bud Returns is in the works and they’re looking for the next top dog!

The movie is set for a 2026 release and the plot will follow something along these lines: a 12-year-old boy who dreams of being a basketball player and finds an original VHS of the Air Bud movie before meeting a neglected golden retriever.

To find the next star, Air Bud Entertainment is looking for a purebred golden retriever to play the famous basketball-playing dog.   The official Air Bud website is taking submissions and all entrants will be eligible to win prizes like a trip to the movie’s Hollywood premiere and Air Bud jerseys.
