Best in Show!

Remember the gorgeous Newfoundland who won best of breed and best of working group at the Westminster Dog Show? Well, he made it to the top, Best in Show, at the 73rd All Breed Dog Show in Hartford, CT, yesterday.

During the opening ceremonies Shadow, a Black Lab, was presented with the medal for canine heroism. She alerted her owners that their 80-year-old neighbor had fallen in her driveway and was crying for help. Shadow lives in my town, I'd love to have her as my neighbor.

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! Oh, Shadow, you go girl!!!

You're a hero!!! And you live in the same town as Carina!! Maybe a Retriever reception is in order

And the Newfie finally got his day!! I'm so happy for him and his family! What a gorgeous hunk of four footed furriness!

I was really rooting for him that night! Thanks for the happy update Alicia!
