They came, they saw, they slobbered. Over the two days of the 136th Westminster Kennel Club Annual Dog Show, held Feb. 13-14, thousands of pooches took to the world’s most famous arena—Madison Square Garden—and captured the canine-loving hearts of fans and national TV audiences. Dozens of dogs trotted away as winners in their respective breeds while a male Pekingese named Malachy took home the grand prize. Check out the best pictures from the yearly competition, including cocker spaniels, poodles, and every other canine beast in between.
