Vita Bella: The Dogumentary

- Season 1

(2011)

In this first episode, pet psychologist with a secret, Dr. Marsha Mayright, needs a fitting test case for her upcoming book. After interviewing various dogs at the park, she chooses to help camera-phobic Vita, and her indecisive owner, Junie. And so the hilarious seven episode search for a "vita bella" -- sometimes wacky, sometimes sublime -- begins.

Episode Two asks the questions: Vita or Luna Negra? A contract on a dog's life? A pet assassin named Dr. Needles? A pack boss Afghan hound mafiosa Carlotta von Hundfeldt? How much of this can be true or is Vita delusional? Follow Dr. Marsha Mayright as she uncovers the truth of Vita's past.

Junie convinces Dr. Marsha to explore the world of makeovers in their continuing quest to help Vita overcome her camera phobia, and discover the ultimate happiness of dog.

The Pup-arazzo, trying to convince Junie and Dr. Marsha that Vita is to be the New Pup on the Block, interviews other dogs, and a neurotic squirrel, for an audition tape for the TMZ-style show PetScan. Dr. Marsha is so rattled by his plans that she lets slip her biggest secret -- one that potentially could make her more famous than Vita.

Junie (Meeshelle Neal) and Dr. Marsha (Debra Sears) argue over the Pup-arazzo's (Gregory Schoen) plan to make himself, Vita, and perhaps Dr. Marsha, famous. Dr. Marsha again lets her secret slip. Vita disappears and after a Monkees-style search, and some information from the dog-phobic squirrel, they find her communing with nature and the mysterious Bow-wowist (Kasey Ryne Mazak). Things are getting weird!

Dr. Marsha talks with the intense bow-wowist about his connection with Vita and his intentions to take her back to the monastery. In exchange, the bow-wowist teaches Dr. Marsha how to breathe deeply. He then convinces Junie she'd make a good bow-wowist, and takes an opportunity to escape with Vita. Will he succeed? Or will Junie finally embrace her "true Junie-ness" and power, and with the help of that sexy Scooter Guy, get Vita back? The chase is on!
