Drew Carey’s Dog Steals the Show on “The Price Is Right”
“The Price Is Right” host Drew Carey, known for his audience interactions, recently surprised viewers with a four-legged guest. As announcer George Gray introduced Carey, the host strolled onto the stage accompanied by his black Labrador, Bubba, sporting official show merchandise.
The audience erupted in applause, charmed by the canine companion. Even model Amber Lancaster couldn’t resist Bubba’s charm.
After a quick hello, Bubba trotted offstage, leaving the audience and Gray wondering how to follow such an adorable act.
The appearance sparked a wave of online comments, with many viewers reminiscing about former host and renowned animal rights activist Bob Barker. Barker, known for advocating pet neutering on the show, used his platform to raise awareness about animal welfare.
He even highlighted the issue of pet euthanasia due to overpopulation. Barker’s commitment extended beyond the show; he was a vegetarian and avoided products tested on animals.
While Barker championed animal rights, past episodes of “The Price Is Right” occasionally featured pets as prizes, a practice now considered outdated. This has sparked online discussions among fans, highlighting the evolution of animal welfare awareness.
