Mimmi, our little TV-star
One day last spring we were contacted by Svt / kids channel. They wondered if we owned a boston terrier that was fit to participate in the children's program "Bulldog" with all that that entailed. The dog they sought would love children, be joyful, fearless, confident, capable of recording environment, a bit independent (able to be "no" math during the recordings) and accept the very management of strangers. For us it was pretty easy to say yes, and say that, yes, we certainly have one of those boston. Her name is Mimmi, and is 4 years-.
"Bulldog" is a program for children up to the age of 12. A child "win" a date for one day with his/hers dream dog. The children involved can not, for various reasons, seek their own dog.
Programme Manager for the entire program is Amy Diamond, and the dogs have their own??? presenters in their very own??? green room. His name is Olof Häggmark.
It is an entertainment program with much emotion, warmth and humor, and the participating breeds are highlighted in a nice way.
Each program involved one child and three different dogs. The child may not know which breeds, however, we viewers know it by the film clips shown from the three dogs' home. The child
In "Mimmis" program is Ruth and the she is a wonderful 12-year-old girl from Umeå. She absolutely adores the breed Boston Terrier, and read everything she could find about them.
In the program Ruth is in the studio, on stage with Amy. There, she notes / facts she gets about the three different breeds participating. She can also hear about what each specific dog, like, how it is, and will, together with the presenter try to match the right dog against his own desire. She will in other words deselect a dog at a time. As viewers we can see and what breed the dogs are. It is incredibly exciting. The studio audience consisting of nearly 100 children tries to being positively help to Ruth and her choise.
So she decides first that one of the 3 dogs will not be her choice. Still there is 2 left. The tension forces up in the program. Which dog will she choose?
The dog that Ruth will finally choose is the dog that she "wins" the date with. The date will also be filmed la and shown in the same program.
But, WHICH dog will be choosed by Ruth? Will it be Mimmi, or?
Unfortunately, in agreement with SVT, we are not allowed to disclose it before the program is shown, and it will be Sunday, January 23rd. The time is 18:30 on SVT / kids channel, with a repeat next Saturday, same channel, but then, at 17:00.
To be the owner of this lovely litte creature Mimmi, sitting in the room next to the recordings, and from a TV screen watch everything that happened that day was a blessing. No eye was dry. Mimmi handled herself extremely well. She charmed everyone present, both cameramen, program managers, and of course the participating children. I had problems with taking her from there
When this day was over, there was a newborn little TV star and her very proud owner, that happy and tired drove back home, to Skellefteå.
We now look forward to the program to be sent.
Greetings /
