Thanksgiving dog shows are usually viewed as counter-programming to football, but this year there’s a connection between the 2 … because the top dog has an NFL connection!!!
Winston, a 3-year-old French bulldog, won Best in Show at the 21st Annual National Dog Show. The pooch is partly owned by L.A. Chargers defensive end Morgan Fox.
Winston was top dog over hundreds of canine competitors. The show drew a huge audience — 20 million folks tuned in to NBC for the fun.
One of the judges, Vicki Seiler-Cushman, gushed over Winston … “He has a razzle-dazzle that says, ‘I am here to win tonight.'” She calls him the perfect pet.
FYI … French bulldogs are the Avis of dogs … the second most popular behind Labs.
As for some of Winston’s competitors … there’s Cooper, an English Toy Spaniel, Sloan, an Irish Water Spaniel, and River, a German Shepard.
Winston got some dog-appropriate treats for his win. Congrats!!!
