Scottish Terrier Wins Best in Show

Crowd-pleaser Sadie wows judges.

Sadie, the adorable Scottish terrier, won Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show on Tuesday night. Sadie was the No. 1 pooch in the nation coming into the competition, and the heavy favorite among bettors in Las Vegas. The 4-year-old with silky black tresses—full name Roundtown Mercedes of Maryscot—won her 112th best-in-show ribbon, though this latest is surely the most satisfying. The purebred dog show, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, was briefly interrupted near the end by some pro-mutt protesters, but security quickly averted a Kanye-Taylor moment. The bitch beat out a French bulldog, a toy poodle, a Doberman, a Brittany, a puli, and a whippet named Chanel who can run 35 miles per hour for the top title.
