Brandon McMillan, the original host of “Lucky Dog,” left the show after seven seasons to pursue new opportunities. He was replaced by two new hosts, Eric and Rashi Wiese.
Brandon McMillan, a professional dog trainer and Emmy Award-winning host, was known for his work on the CBS show “Lucky Dog,” where he rescued unadoptable dogs and trained them to become perfect pets for families. After seven successful seasons, McMillan decided to step away from the show. His departure was announced in October 2020, and he cited a desire to focus on his own brand and other projects, including his work with service dogs and his podcast.
Following his departure, the show continued with a new format and new hosts. Husband and wife team Eric and Rashi Wiese took over the reins of “Lucky Dog.” They brought their own expertise and style to the show, continuing the mission of rescuing and training dogs in need of homes. The transition marked a new chapter for the show, with the Wieses bringing their unique experiences and perspectives to the audience. Despite the change in hosts, the core mission of “Lucky Dog” to save and rehome dogs remained the same, and the show continued to inspire viewers with heartwarming stories of transformation and companionship.
