Dog Show a Snap for Beagle

As he is wont to do, Uno celebrated his historic Best in Show victory by baying, reports the New York Times. The first beagle to take the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show's top prize, Uno joyfully expressed himself throughout most of last night's final round. "What a personality," exclaimed the judge. "He’s the most perfect beagle I’ve ever seen.”

The 3-year-old crowd pleaser beat out perennial favorites that included top-ranked toy poodle Vikki, standard poodle Remy, and Sealyham terrier Charmin. The other three competitors—an Akita, a Weimaraner, and an Australian shepherd—had, like Uno, never seen their breeds win Best in Show. So what's next for Uno? Plenty of play time with his rubber ducky.
