This week the annual Westminster Dog Show was held in New York City. Some of the country’s cutest dogs took center stage during this event that was held in Madison Square Garden. This was the 136th time that this show was held.
Who were the winners this year? Some of the cutest was a small little Pekingese, named Malachy that won “Best In Show.” It was so small that it could actually sit in its trophy cup.
A cute little Golden Retriever named Sydney won “Best Opposte Sex.”
However, the most precious moment of the entire show was when dog lovers Debbie Pars and Brad Slayton pledged their love to each other in the way of marriage, on Valentine’s Day in the benching area of the arena. They shared this perfect moment with their dog Major, who won the title of “Best in Breed.” Major is a Tibetan Mastiff.
Will this wedding start a new trend at the Westminster Dog Show? Time will tell.
As for sharing their special wedding day with their best four legged friend, dog lovers around the nation can relate to that fact. However, not all can relate to entering them into dog shows.
These contests take a lot of work, time and energy. Many of us may enjoy sitting at home and watching these contests. We may even enjoy rooting for our favorites to win those titles and awards. We just may not want to actually compete in the shows, even if we are sure our own dogs would surely win.
