We got our lovely little Parson Jack Russell about 9 months ago from a rescue home. They had their dog show today so we went for a laugh. He was entered in two 'proper' classes and two novelty ones (including waggiest tail - thought he was a shoe-in, but noooo!).
Anyhoo, was such a long day of not even getting placed, let alone winning. We were getting so despondent when suddenly, in the penultimate class, he only bloody wins the best prize of the day (in my now expert opinion!)..... 'dog the judge would most like to take home'. I just love that he flunked the whole 'legs are the right shape, nose isn't too long' shit, and won that particular trophy!
