Westminster Kennel Club dog show is an illustration of the bond people form with dogs, and what each will do for the other
Basset hounds and their awards during the 2024 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center in Queens on May 13, 2024.Less than three years ago, Mary Ann and David Giordano were taking turns lying on the living room floor with their Afghan hound Frankie, hand-feeding the desperately ill dog anything she would eat.
“It was really tough,” Mary Ann Giordano said, her voice halting as she described Frankie’s eight-monthlong ordeal. “But she made it.” Mister, a bloodhound who won a merit award in his breed Monday, also puts his breed’s ancient instincts to work. He’s qualified to trail missing people, though his calls so far have been resolved before they got into the field, said co-owner, breeder and handler Renee Wagner, of Niagara Falls, New York.A handler grooms a dog during breed group judging at the 148th Westminster Kennel Club Dog show on May 13, 2024, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York.
If he knew a lot was riding on his little shoulders, he didn’t show it as he appeared in the first-round ring and someone in the audience yelled, “Yay! History!”A dog is groomed during the 148th Westminster Kennel Club Dog show on May 13, 2024, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York.The show also was a first for Alfredo Delgado and Maria Davila, who had travelled from Juncos, Puerto Rico, with their French bulldog, Duncan.
“We made a dream come true to be here,” Davila said afterward. “To share with experienced people in the ring – that was awesome.”
