I don't really like traveling in the winter, but there is one thing I love about being in NY at this time of the year: the Westminster Kennel Club dog show.
This great event takes place every year around this time of the year, the show is at Medison Square Garden, just a couple of blocks from my friends apartment.
I never attended the show itself, but I always managed to get a peek of some of the contestants, sometimes even the winners.
This time I was on my way to do some shopping when I saw a small crowd gathering in front of the MSG. I crossed the street and wiggled my way to the front of the crowd just to see this wonderful and enormous mastiff . He was so docile that everyone got close to him, even little kids. He almost looked fake, in fact at first I thought it was not a real dog but some kind of crazy toy. His eyes were a bit sad, but overall he seemed like a happy dog.
The show happened and the winner was announced, I completely missed it as I was back in Philly and getting ready for the next trip up to Boston, until my good friend J showed me this:
The golden Briard.
The author of the blog is a friend of J's and is a fantastic illustrator with a true love for dogs.
Check it out, she has all the results of the show in an illustrated version:-)
