Is Brandon McMillan going to be in another TV show?
Many months have passed since Brandon left Lucky Dog, but has he ever considered returning to the small screen? According to the dog trainer, he receives pitches about new shows on a regular basis — but none of them are what hes looking to do.
“If its the right show, I would do it,” he says. “Lucky Dog was born because it was what I was doing every day … if its the right show, and if its the right idea, of course Ill do it.”
However, he says, at this moment, there isnt anything thats caught his eye — and while he may have a few ideas of his own, its not something he believes would get picked up by a network.
“My ideas are very raw, like tracking strays in the streets and going out to the deserts and spending a week finding a stray thats been out there for six to eight months,” he says. “But right now its not the network needs. Its not what the networks are looking for.”
Why is Brandon McMillan leaving Lucky Dog?
On October 24, Brandon took to Facebook to announce his departure from Lucky Dog.
He cited his reasons for leaving as the show dynamic changing from showcasing his”passion for saving dogs and training them for a purpose” to something more corporate-driven.
He said when the crew began filming the show, they had “the best times.”
“As the years went on big money started pouring into the show which meant more cooks in the kitchen making decisions,” wrote Brandon.
“This is where Hollywood can take a great idea and turn it into a money-driven business. When the fun gets taken out of a tv show then it’s no longer fun to show up.
“Today will be my final episode of Lucky Dog. The irony is the dog that started it all is the legacy that I’ll leave it on. I cannot thank you all enough for your years of support you all have given me,” he continued.
“You were there to see me cry when I said goodbye to Sandy… when I said goodbye to Charlotte… when I said goodbye to little Olive… and countless other dogs.
“Being as real as I possibly can was the most important thing for me because you the viewers know acting from reality. This was a serious show that saved the lives of hundreds of dogs.
“Mission accomplished. But this is not the end… it’s just the beginning. Where will my next adventure be? Who knows… but you’ll be with me on that journey too.
