Meet the Amazing Dog-and-Owner Duos Competing to be the Leader of The Pack Hosted by Lindsey Vonn

The Pack is making its way to Amazon Prime Video on November 20, and PEOPLE has a sneak peek at all the canine competitors and their owners. Hosted by Lindsey Vonn and her dog Lucy, The Pack is a competition series where dogs and their owners travel the world to compete in challenges that prove how strong the bond can be between a human and their pup. The winning dog-and-owner duo gets $500,000, plus another $250,000 for a charity of their choice. 

While animal lovers wait for the show to arrive on Amazon, they can meet all the players (both pooch and human) now, and make an early pick on what pair they think will be the leader of The Pack.

Dixie is a 5-year-old Bluetick Coonhound, who works as a therapy dog for veterans and is also a deer-tracking dog. She's known to many as "Dixie The Praying Dog" because Brian taught her how to "bow" down to pray and how to say thank you to veterans on command.

Brian, 47, is from Camby, Indiana, where half of the week he drives semi-trucks and the other half he spends taking Dixie to public appearances and events.

Both Brian and Dixie have dedicated their lives to helping veterans, kids, and anyone who might need a smile.
