Escapee runs from the 2014 Thanksgiving National Dog Show!

If you missed out on the Thanksgiving National Dog Show this year – you missed some major excitement…the worst thing that could happen happened – one of the contestants (dogs) tried to make his great escape! And the handler broke down in tears! It was the miniature pinscher – apparently he just couldn’t take the pressure! 😉

And then there was the 2014 Dog Show Champion – for the first time ever in the National Dog Show history, the Best in Show went to a Bloodhound! Nathan the bloodhound became the 2014 National Dog Show Champion – he is a 4 year old and described by his owner as a dog that has never met a stranger.
