Albert Cheng, co-head of television at Amazon Studios, explained, “The Pack is an uplifting and exhilarating new unscripted series, celebrating one of the most unique and universally-recognized relationships we have—between people and their best friends. Our Amazon Prime customers around the world will go on an adventure unlike any other as these impressive dogs and their humans navigate challenges as teams, making a difference along the way.”

Olympic medalist Vonn will also be hosting alongside Lucy, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that she adopted in 2016.

Vonn said, "I have overcome many obstacles in life, but one thing that has reigned true during good times and bad has been the love of my dogs. Like many times before, Lucy will be by my side on yet another one of life’s adventures, and I’m excited for everyone to watch and cheer on these incredible contestants and their beloved companions."
