This one was really weird but the participation trophy joke completely cracked me up. I thought Fluttershy would be the one to point out the robot and plush Gummy were not pets.

I think that this short doesn't stand by itself, it was still funny, but below average comparing it to most recent EQG shorts. This would have worked better, IMO, putting it together with the previous one as a 5-6 minutes short.

Still, I liked stuff such as tank getting a crush on Bulk's pet dog, the toast faces of Microchips' pet robot and Cranky's dog eating the sad face toast.

I did like the way Applejack was so unsure of whether robots counted as pets and yet they were still awarded 3rd place. The whole well we're not sure so we're going to treat you just like the other pets is a nice concept. I also enjoyed Cranky's pet dog Flufflesnuff's little smirk when Fluttershy was describing him and Bulk's reaction to the tortoise having a crush on his dog was cute.

I am guessing if they are willing to consider Pinkie's stuffed toy as a "pet", that lowers the bar somewhat...

This is mostly just the same jokes as the last one, but I liked that the robot had feelings. How did it make the sad toast face? Weird. Also, Tank having a crush on the dog was cute, but I kept thinking about what might become of that were this not a kids' show, which was the funniest part of this one to me.

I also love Tank's crush on the dog.

Oh boy.  Pretty much all of the things that apply to Best in Show: The Pre-Show apply here too, except there were no interesting pet comments here, and we really didn't need a part two to a pretty uninteresting topic in my opinion, because this short was boring, and it was even worse than Best in Show: The Pre-Show.  I don't think I will be going to any dog shows based on my reaction to this short.
