Tillman in a dust-up, but still standing when the dust clears
STORY TOOLS 
More from LifestyleBlood was shed during Thursday night's episode of the CBS-TV reality show the "Greatest American Dog." Some of it was Tillman's. The skateboarding English bulldog from Oxnard survived another round of eliminations on the series but failed to dodge the teeth of a Jack Russell terrier named Elvis, who bit him near the eye. Tillman's owner, Ron Davis, 39, was visibly upset, remarking that it was the first tussle in the life of the peace-loving Tillman. "He's a farter, not a fighter," Davis said. (That quote, by the way, also was the episode title.)
Tillman is among 12 dogs and their humans vying for $250,000 on a luxury property in Agoura Hills. Eliminated this week were Elan Hagens, 24, of Portland, Ore., and her giant schnauzer, Kenji.

Isn't Kenji the dog that went missing over on the East end of Simi Valley last month? Does anyone know if the dog was ever recovered?
