Happiness is a warm puppy

This article covers the return of the aptly named "Uno" the beagle as winner of best in show at the Westminster dog show.

The only breed consistently among the nation's most popular dogs for nearly 100 years, a beagle had never won in the 100 times the Westminster Kennel Club had chosen a winner. That changed when judge J. Donald Jones pointed to this nearly 3-year-old package of personality.

No longer an underdog — make that an Underdog — Uno beat out two neatly primped poodles, a top Sealyham terrier, a sleek Weimaraner, a lively Australian shepherd and a sprightly Akita.


I don't know too much about dog breeding etc. but the story caught my interest with the title, "Hail, Snoopy! Beagle Wins Westminster".

I saw the same AP headline via Yahoo! News and knew that it would find its way to you somehow. Ha ha! Snoopy's cousin wins the dog show, Charlie Brown's balloon gets the Coca-Cola, and a Linus and Lucy valentine card will bring joy to some elementary school kid tomorrow ... it's a good time to be a Peanuts fan, eh?
