In football, it’s the Super Bowl. In dog shows, it’s the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden.
And on Tuesday night, an underdog from Virginia took top honors.
The audience roared with delight when Foxcliffe Hickory Wind, a 5-year-old Scottish Deerhound from Warrenton, Va., was named Best In Show. She represented the hound group and beat out the top dogs from each of the other six breed categories. It was a surprise win, as those of the betting persuasion had their money on the Pekingese or fox terrier.
This is the first time a Scottish deerhound has ever won Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show. Her handler, Angela Lloyd, beamed and hugged Hickory in front of the television audience. Her human owners are Sally Sweatt, Cecilia Dove and R. Scott Dove.

This dog was Best In Show here in Salisbury in November. How exciting.
