New York's Not-So-'Best' Doctor
Meet Dr. David Best. He's the Manhattan physician who got booted on last night's episode of the CBS reality competition Greatest American Dog. Best and his little terrier, Elvis, it seems, do everything together. And there's nothing it seems Best won't do for his best friend: The doc spent $10,000 last November on the canine's "Bark Mitzvah" at the Tribeca Grand (left), which attracted Dr. Ruth and Elvis's mother, and also earned him the attention of CBS execs, who promptly signed him up for the dog-centric reality show. So it probably shouldn't come as a surprise that when the judges gave the duo the boot on last night's episode, Dr. Best didn't take it very well. Tears were shed. Dreams were shattered. (You can watch the epic meltdown right here.)
Now we can understand that a certain degree of emotional turmoil must follow the rejection of being told your dog is not, actually, the bestest in the whole, wide world. But get a grip, Dr. Best! Think of those cadavers you dissected in medical school or something. Your patients don't want to be treated by a guy so emotionally fragile that he breaks down in tears just because his dog got kicked off a reality show. On the positive side, though, we'd venture to guess that if any of his patients shlep their pooches with them to their appointments, he'd be pretty chill about it.
