Stop the Presses - Uno is Best in Show

The handsome hound pictured above is "Uno" and this mutt broke a nearly 70-year shut out by taking Best in Show last night at America's top canine contest, the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York.
It's been widely thought that the Beagle was much too pedestrian to take top honours over the frilly (i.e. "pimped") creatures that usually dominate these competitions.
The New York Times reports that Uno entered the ring, "to thunderous applause, as if Willis Reed had walked into the arena one last time," to trounce the other six finalists.
Uno, by the way, bears a striking resemblance to my own Beagle, Mikey.
