Scotty takes top honors in National Dog Show
A Scottish terrier named Sadie took Best in Show on Thursday at the National Dog Show that was broadcast on NBC right after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
"She is only the third Scottish terrier to win in the Kennel Club of Philadelphia's 130-year history," the web site states. "In February, 2009, Sadie won the Terrier Group at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and has dominated the sport ever since."
Our Daily Breeze colleague Sandy Gerety, who has owned Scotties in the past but now has chihuahuas, was very happy about the Scotty's big win. "It's about time," she said.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
