The American Humane Association and the Gaines dog food company is honoring 'Punky Brewster' for showing the joys of owning a dog.
The show's star, Soleil Moon Frye, was in Los Angeles to accept the award. One of her co-stars on the show is Brandon, a golden retriever named after Brandon Tartikoff, NBC's entertainment president. 'As head of programming at NBC, I have been accused of putting many dogs on the air but none of them has given me as much pride as my namesake, Brandon, and the little girl that Brandon belongs to, Punky,' he said in a letter. 'We (his wife and daughter) bought a golden retriever three weeks ago.'
