‘Everything A Pug Should Be:’ Vito Named Top Dog At National Dog Show
HuffPost
"Wow. Just wow,” the judge of the best in show category said. “Lots of dog in a small package.”
Vito, a two-and-a-half-year-old pug, rose above 2,000 other canines in Philadelphia on Thursday, where he was declared best in show at the 92nd annual National Dog Show.
“He’s got a beautiful head and expression, he’s a very compact dog,” Vito’s handler, Michael Scott, said in an interview after the victory. “And his movement, he’s got wonderful movement.”
Vito has already had a storied career on the show dog circuit, racking up 25 best in show honors. He is also the No. 2 toy dog in the U.S., according to NBC News, after winning best in breed at the Westminster Dog Show in New York earlier this year and best of breed at the American Kennel Club National Show in 2023.
“Compact, features, movement — everything a pug should be,” judge George Milutinovich said of the pug. “Wow. Just wow. Lots of dog in a small package.”
Carolyn Koch, Vito’s co-owner, told NBC she was “so proud” of the dog. A pug hasn’t won the best in show title since the National Dog Show began its latest era in 2002.
