SCOOBY-DOO WHERE ARE YOU?

- The hunt starts for a UK dog to stand in for Scooby -

The country’s 6.8 million dogs are all in for a sniff of canine fame today, as a nationwide search gets underway to find the living, three-dimensional equivalent of Scooby Doo!With kennel clubs, veterinary surgeries and dog charities across the nation invited to get in on the action, the search will confirm, once and for all, which breed is the closest match, both in looks and personality, to the loveable, but mischievous Scooby – reputedly based on a Great Dane.

Dogs up for the challenge will be put through their muddy paces and judged on strict criteria: a nose for mischief, large floppy ears, a spring in their step, brown coat with large black spots, a loveable personality and of course, an endless appetite! The winning pup will get the coveted title of being crowned ‘The Living Scooby-Doo’, with his owner winning an exclusive stage debut on the Scooby-Doo Live Show, which is touring the country over this summer.

Meanwhile, the animated Scooby will be escaping the limelight by escaping on to DVD on the 25th May in his latest adventure: Scooby-Doo! And the Samurai Sword. Packed with even more hi-jinks, thrills and laughs, Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. embark on an exciting journey to the Orient in this full-length animated feature film.

Widely regarded as one of the most loved canine cartoon characters, Scooby and his nose for adventure have held a special place in the heart of the nation for over forty years. The eagerly anticipated search is now on to find his real life equivalent.
