SUNDERLAND, VT (November 2011) — Betty White loves dogs as much as she loves a good laugh – and her new video, www.Orvis.com/BettyWhite is a funny, but ultimately important video to help raise money annually for the Morris Animal Foundation’s cancer research campaign. The Emmy Award-winning comedian truly brings on the laughs as she attempts to get her co-star, Buck the pooch, on the cover of the Orvis catalog.

The Orvis Company is committed to improving the health of dogs, and through the Orvis Cover Dog Photo Contest and direct donations, Orvis and its customers have raised over $500,000 so far in support of the Morris Animal Foundation in their fight against this terrible disease.

The Cover Dog Photo contest is now open, and photographs can be submitted through March 2012.
