Chris Cory, creator of Diva Dog the movie

We are pleased to announce unofficially, that Chris Cory, owner of the now passed away star of Diva Dog The Movie, will be a guest judge at the FindAPitbull Competition 2010. They may have even inspired an additional category for the competition for dogs with a handicap but still able to do amazing things. After reading the story myself, and getting more of the details from Chris himself, it's easy to get involved emotionally in their story.

But, for those that don't know the story, here it is...

Hit by a car and left permanently paralyzed, DIVA DOG is the true story of Coral – a pit bull on wheels with a heart of gold and a triumphant will to live. Now she is starring in her very own movie, "DIVA DOG: PIT BULL ON WHEELS." Starring Debra Wilson, Linda Blair, Kelli McCarty, Jordan Ladd, Adrienne Frantz, James Madio, Amelia Kinkade, Tamar Geller, Eric Martsolf & Barbie Orr. DIVA DOG's mission is to bring a good pit bull role model to the public and to educate people about the options for disabled animals. Come on in and get to know Coral, Pit Bull Ambassador and Official Spokesdog for Disabled Animals Everywhere!!!

DIVA DOG is really rolling along full-speed ahead, thanks to all the incredible support from fans all across the country and beyond who know this story is an important and necessary one that must be shared with the world.
