Maria Menounos, host of the leading female Apple Podcast, 'Conversations with Maria' and her dogs, Whinnie and Maximus, are helping to kick off this year's #EveryDogIsAStar initiative.

"My dogs are the true stars of our family. They have different personalities, but provide us with their own wonderful versions of warmth and affection," said Menounos. "Our German Shepherd, Maximus, is the family's protector, while Whinnie, our Poodle, provides closeness and comfort. That's why my pets and I are excited to help kickoff Purina's 'Every Dog is a Star' program this year to further celebrate each pet's star qualities and the value they bring to our lives every day."


The Beverly Hills Dog Show will feature some of Hollywood's famous faces and pet lovers, including "Extra" host Mario Lopez, "High School Musical" actress Ashley Tisdale, three-time Olympic gold-medalist Shaun White, "America Ninja Warrior" co-host, Akbar Gbajabiamila, "Manifest" stars Parveen Kaur, Melissa Roxburgh and J.R. Ramirez, Triple Crown-winning jockeys Victor Espinoza and Mike Smith and more to cheer on their favorite breeds ringside as the dogs strut their stuff for Best In Show honors. This year's show will feature more than 1,500 dogs representing more than 200 eligible breeds competing for the top prize.

"The Beverly Hills Dog Show is another great example of Purina and NBC partnering to bring family-friendly entertainment options to TV while highlighting hundreds of amazing dogs in and out of the show ring," said Daniel Henke-Cilenti, director of marketing for the Purina brand. "Building upon the successful formula of the National Dog Show Presented by Purina, an annual Thanksgiving tradition for millions of families, we are growing that same family holiday tradition with the Beverly Hills Dog Show on Easter."
