Missing Beagle Goes to Dog Show, Wins RibbonA coincidence of timing brought a lost dog third place in a dog show. Paula Closier became frantic when she couldn't find her beagle Bonnie. Bonnie had been a street dog in Crete before Closier and her family brought the dog to their home in West Sussex, UK. Closier immediately put up notices on social media. Meanwhile, John Wilmer was driving to a dog show where he was to enter his two dogs. He spotted Bonnie on the side of the road and picked her up. He was already running late for the show, and so took Bonnie with him. Once he got his dogs registered, he posted a notice about finding Bonnie on social media. He connected with Closier, who was quite relieved to hear her dog had been found. Happy that he had found Bonnie's owner, Wilmer entered her in the rescue dog competition. After all, she was already there. Bonnie won third place in that contest, and was delivered to her family with a ribbon. Closier said, "You couldn't make this stuff up."

The Good Dogs of Crufts 2022The annual Crufts Dog Show wrapped up this past weekend in Birmingham, UK. The Best in Show award went to Baxer (shown above), a flat-coated retriever who entered in the gun dog category. You can see the results in the various dog show categories here. But there was more than just a standard dog show. In the Freestyle Heelwork To Music Competition, which most of us will call "dancing," the winner was Nicci Hindson with her dog Comebyanyway Wildest Dream, who is called Elsa.
