A video that follows the morning of a CTV News staff member's dog is in the running for a $20,000 payday, after it was chosen as a finalist on LIVE! With Regis and Kelly.

The video, Dog Every Morning, shows Mauricio Sierra's wife, Robin Braun, and their dog Truck in a snippet of a day in their lives in Vancouver.

It's one of five video entrants from across North America as part of a contest on the show that asks viewers how they start their day.

The one minute film, which shows Truck cruising the streets of Vancouver with his rainboot-clad owner, features music written and performed by the couple.

Voting opens Friday.

LIVE! airs weekdays at 9 a.m. PST on CTV.
