The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is like the Superbowl of Dog Shows. But I don't know if that is saying much... can you name another one? Either way, it is one of the highest publicized "sporting" events out there, and we would be remiss if we didn't use it as an excuse to show you some cute dogs in New York. Enjoy.
