In case you missed it, here’s the video of Best in Show from the Westminster Dog Show. The winner was that super cuteness in the picture, a Scottish terrier named Sadie. She was the favorite from the start–and this is her 112th Best in Show! When do they just give you a lifetime supply of Milk Bars and call it a day?

Every time I watch a dog show, I imagine what it must feel like to have someone looking at your teeth or pretending they’re gonna give something you really want to eat and then pretending to eat it themselves just so you won’t lose interest in it. I don’t know how they’re so patiently standing through all that. I would lose my mind in that ring. I’d be all, “Pretend to eat that cookie again, and I swear I will bite off your hand.”

But they’re totally Zen. One with the cookie. Be one with the cookie. Om.

Dog-induced Buddhism aside, PETA’s gripe with the Westminster Dog Kennel isn’t their total popping of pooch’s personal bubbles, it’s that “the American Kennel Club promotes pure-breeding of dogs that is harmful to their health.” Protesters stood outside Madison Square Garden yesterday dressed… are you sitting down?… in KKK costumes. From the Gothamist,

PETA spokesman Michael McGraw admits “it’s an uncomfortable comparison,” but he insists the AKC is trying to create a “master race” (not to mention breeding while adorable mutts overflow the shelters)

I’m sorry… Uncomfortable comparison? It is a little more than uncomfortable, bro, it’s the KK-freaking-K. PETA’s tactics bother me on many different levels. I just don’t like them. This doesn’t make it any better. Although Jen Carlson’s totally got a point in her parenthetical there. Why get a poodle or a dobie when you could stop on down at your local shelter and choose a dog that is all the best parts of a poodle and a dobie and a Frenchie AND a Scottie!
