I usually catch the last judging of the Westminster dog show to see who the finalists are and guess which one will win.

I had no idea this was even an event, but what a great idea!

Forget Westminster! Here Is the First Group of Winners from the 2020 American Rescue Dog ShowThe weekend after the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show was still full of woofs and wags. On Feb. 16, the Hallmark Channel aired the first…people.com

And for an event as special as this, there can’t be just be one big winner: this competition has 10 winners. These top dogs are broken down into adorable categories like “Best in Wrinkles” and “Best in Snoring.”

I think our dog could win for Snoring... I should have entered him.

With multiple winners, the American Rescue Dog Show has multiple chances to highlight the quirky, cute and totally unique magic pet lovers can expect whenever the adopt a dog. Overall, the show hopes that watching these everyday dogs get the celebrity treatment will encourage viewers to see every shelter pet as a superstar worthy of spot in their home.

Apparently there are too many winners for just one night, so it continues on for the next 5 winners.

Thanks for posting this....I have no pets but I like stuff that promotes the "disenfranchised".

I’ve been wondering, what animals do you currently have? And if it’s not too personal of a question, what are their names?

I shared this on my primary dog & cat rescue page: Cause for Paws, Inc. Please let me know if this isn’t okay for you...

You had me at Cause and then again at Paws. 🐶

@Victoria and I did an interview with Sherri Franklin, who runs Muttville, a rescue center for elder dogs, and also @kbecker , who adopts them and we see walking them in our neighborhood every day. They are extraordinary:

I live in a city where the most practical pets are dogs. I just have one at the moment but it sometimes feels like I have three because I seem to be the area dog sitter. The dogs love my place because I let them jump on the couch and sleep on my bed. They get two walks a day and lots of hugs.

I love all animals but I wish the squirrels and birds would stop eating my small garden. I am vegan partly because I love animals so much. Cows are the cutest. They are just big dogs. I would own a horse if I could.

Delighted to hear that you are also vegan! Our numbers are increasing daily...
