WHAT: Football Legend Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston’s 3-year-old yellow Labrador, Gunner, will follow in his

owner’s footsteps to greatness as he brings his talents to the Pro Plan gridiron in the first-ever "Canine

Combine" a few days before the Big Game.  This made-for-media performance will feature Gunner, as

well as other incredible dog competitors, performing a variety of jaw-dropping athletic feats including

flying disc, weave pole racing and high-speed agility obstacles – all within a football-themed

performance venue.

 

Johnston, a former three time Super Bowl champion as a member of the Dallas Cowboys / current pro football analyst, and Gunner will demonstrate how weeks of joint training with Purina Pro Plan’s revolutionary smartphone app, the Purina Pro Plan P5, helped take Gunner from a good dog to a great dog.
