Axed: The Pack

Newly-launched dog competition series The Pack has been axed by Amazon Prime, less than two months after its launch.

The series, hosted by US Olympian Lindsey Vonn was described as ‘The Amazing Race with dogs.’

It featured twelve teams of dogs and their owners on an epic adventure across multiple continents. In each locale, the human and dog duos went through a series of challenges, designed with a team of accredited veterinarians and certified dog experts that also accompany the group on their journey.

Deadline reports PETA condemned the show, saying that “animals are individuals – not props for movies and TV shows” but an Amazon spokeswoman said that did not influence the decision to cancel the show.
