New York City’s Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is the World Cup of canine competition. And while the champion of the two-day showcase earns the coveted title of “America’s Dog,” this year’s winner was a purebred Canadian.
Miss P, a beagle bred by Lori Crandlemire of Enderby, B.C., took the top dog honour in front of a packed Madison Square Garden. In addition to having her name forever etched in dog lore, she scored appearances on morning TV shows, a meeting with Donald Trump, lunch at prominent Manhattan restaurant Sardi’s, and a walk-on part in the Broadway hit musical Kinky Boots.
It doesn’t make sense, we know, but such privilege is to be expected from a spectacle that invites more excitement to the Garden than a Knicks game.
We may have 99 problems, Canada, but a, um, dog ain’t one.
