MVP of the Week
Congratulations to the beagle, Uno, winner of the 2008 Westminster Kennel Club Best in Show, and America’s Top Dog.
Maggie is especially proud of Uno who expertly represented her breed and brought “home” a prize that has never won by a beagle in the history of the Westminster Show.
Not only that, but it was the first time in nearly 70 years that a beagle had won the Hound Group (that’s almost 480 dog years).
Judges said he was an “all around happy dog,” he barked and howled and nipped at a newly printed sign. He tried to grab his leash and he lept at a piece of filet mignon. But all of that adorable beaglery won over the judges and the audience. Uno received a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden as the judges announced his win.
I think I heard Lester Holt get a little choked up with joy as he was adding his commentary.
